Times 28963 – Take a walk on the mild side

Author   vinyl1Posted on 8th July 2024 at 2:19 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

I found this a rather easy Monday puzzle, but I did have all the knowledge.   The two long answers should be obvious just from the enumerations and literals, which will give everyone a good start.

Times Cryptic Jumbo 1680 – 22 June 2024

Author   KittyPosted on 6th July 2024 at 12:01 AM10 September 2025Categories Jumbo Cryptic

Hi all. I didn’t find this the hardest Jumbo ever, but did have to think a bit. Unusually, I think I may have twigged the identity of the setter.

Times Cryptic No 28961 — …and the rockets’ red glare…

Author   plusjeremyPosted on 5th July 2024 at 3:04 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

100 minutes for this very hard puzzle! Sunburnt and tired from a day at the beach (it was Independence Day here in the US), I pushed myself to finish this puzzle far beyond what seemed reasonable.
