Times 29296 – Tricky Thursday (musical edition)

Author   glhPosted on 31st July 2025 at 1:44 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

Time taken: 8:50. A scan of the early times suggest that this is a more difficult one and I might have gotten lucky with a few familiar phrases and musical terms.

Times 29295 – not in Regent’s Park.

Author   piquetPosted on 30th July 2025 at 7:05 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

A mild midweek offering, I thought, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Mephisto 3386 – Football player and politician

Author   vinyl1Posted on 27th July 2025 at 1:37 AM10 September 2025Categories Mephisto
