Hi everyone, and welcome to Jumbo 40 squared. A multi-session solve, so no time to report, but it would have taken me over the hour I think. Entertaining as always – thanks setter!
Day: 4th March 2023
Times Cryptic No 28536 – Saturday, 25 February 2023. Sleightly slippery.
Today’s setter did some delightful “sleight of hand” with words that deceived the solver. The definitions in 12d and 14d looked like something entirely different; I smiled at mention of the playmaker in 17d too.
