A fine puzzle from Izetti this morning, perhaps at the less challenging end of his scale but full of enjoyable clues.

Quick Cryptic no 2727 by Lupa

Author   Cedric StatherbyPosted on 13th July 2024 at 1:11 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

A very pleasant puzzle from one of our less frequent setters, and all done in 12:12, BUT with one error that I think might catch a few others too.
