Times Cryptic 29310 – Sat, 16 August 2025. G-Nashing of limericks.
It is sometimes suggested that the clues at the end are easier than the early ones, for some reason. Certainly, with this puzzle, my eye fell on the last across clue, and from there I flew through the SE corner. Overall a quick solve, apart from the limerick writer.
Times Cryptic Jumbo 1745 – 9 August 2025. Unfinished business
Hi all. This was all going wonderfully smoothly … until I slowed to a crawl. I then hit a brick wall which seemed so unyielding I resorted to word searches with a handful to go. Thanks to the setter for the brain exercise. Although I confess I got a teeny bit grumpy at the end, I enjoyed it until then!
