Author   glhPosted on 4th June 2026 at 12:38 AMCategories Daily Cryptic

Time taken: 9:40. That’s usually enough for me to declare Tricky Thursday, but I was over 10 minutes on both Tuesday and Wednesday, so I don’t think this is the trickiest of the week.

Time taken: 17:19. There’s a few quicker times than me in, but also a few with errors, so I’m claiming this one to be Tricky Thursday

Times 29524 – top-heavy Tricky Thursday

Author   glhPosted on 23rd April 2026 at 4:04 AM23 April 2026Categories Daily Cryptic

Time taken: 10:39. Weird experience, the whole bottom of the grid was full before I had about a quarter of the top finished.
