Times Quick Cryptic 3046 by Trelawney

Author   KittyPosted on 21st July 2025 at 7:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Hello all. I was a bit surprised to find this was a Trelawney because it took me a bit longer than usual for a Monday.  But not that surprised because I enjoyed it. It didn’t seem so hard when writing it up, so maybe I was just having a slow day.  Thanks Trelawney!

Times 29287 – Paging Casey Jones!

Author   vinyl1Posted on 21st July 2025 at 3:45 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

My solve was held back by over-confident mistakes.    Seeing that 1 across was obvious, I started writing in obvious answers which were not, in fact, the correct answers.
