Times 28564 – this little piggy went to the salon

Author   glhPosted on 30th March 2023 at 3:11 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

Times Quick Cryptic No 2362 by Izetti

Quick Cryptic 2361 by Breadman

Author   BletchleyRejectPosted on 28th March 2023 at 1:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

I hope you will find this quite straightforward. I think it’s some way easier than several we’ve had over the past couple of weeks
