Times Quick Cryptic 3202 by Trelawney – first aid
Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve encountered Trelawney on blogging day and I was happy to see him. Solving was nice and smooth, with a big smile at 13d. Ouch! Thanks Trelawney!
Times 29443 – Monday – another tricky day?
I seem to have found this puzzle a lot harder than everyone else, but the leaderboard and the SNITCH seem to be surprisingly sparse.
