Times Cryptic Jumbo 1580 – 15 October 2022. Cryptic inspected, filled with old tricks
Greetings from York, where I am in attendance at John Henderson’s annual Sloggers & Betters gathering. As a result I may be late and/or or under the influence when replying to any comments.
I solved most of this on the journey up, and it was certainly a welcome diversion from being crammed with fellow suffers into an overcrowded train.
Times Cryptic No 28428 – Saturday, 22 October 2022. The Jelly Roll Blues.
My eye quickly fell on 10ac. Isn’t “jelly” too obvious? Of course it is! Actually my FOI was 24dn. The bottom half was much easier than the top, and my last four in were 6dn, 7dn and 1ac/3dn where a crossing letter needed repair to finish things off. Overall, quite challenging, I felt, but good fun.
