This was one of those puzzles, I thought, with a smattering of hard clues among mostly easy ones.

Times Quick Cryptic 2914 by Izetti – back to normality?

Author   KittyPosted on 17th February 2025 at 7:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Hi all. After failing on Izetti’s last offering, this week I put in a very similar time to the Izetti before that, progressing at an even (if unexceptional) pace. I enjoyed it more too. No 11ds today! Thanks Izetti!

Times 29155 – In C Major?

Author   vinyl1Posted on 17th February 2025 at 3:07 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

This one was not too bad, and I got through most of it fairly quickly before getting stuck at the end.

Sunday Times 5150 by David Mclean

Author   keriothePosted on 16th February 2025 at 1:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Weekend Cryptic

13:56. I enjoyed this puzzle a lot, just the right level of difficulty for a Sunday on which I also had to go for a run, cook lunch, walk the dogs and do some work.

Times Cryptic Jumbo 1715 – 1 Feb 2025. A better fail than expected

Author   KittyPosted on 15th February 2025 at 12:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Jumbo Cryptic

Hello everybody, and happy Saturday. This was a dnf, but I was amazed that it was only by one. In the end I was quite pleased really with my 76 minutes on the timer and single error. Thanks, setter, for the brain teasing.
