Hello all. I doubt I’ll be alone in nominating 14a as Clue of the Day – its subject is hardly going to be outside the solver’s sphere of interest, after all! 18a was also neat, and I liked the long answers too. A happy cat (as seen today grinning in 32a) will always produce a happy Kitty, as will generally a reverse clue – and 35a was a little more interesting than standard.
Day: 24th September 2022
Times Cryptic No 28398 – Saturday, 17 September 2022. Synchronicity or just a lucky coincidence?
As it happened, I solved this online for once. (So much TV sport, so little time!)
I finished comfortably under 30 minutes. It must have been easy – though I was helped by an unfamiliar answer I’d met for the first time only the day before!
