Times 25626 – what’s the sound of one hand typing?
Solving time : 15:07 on the club timer with one silly typo. First one I’ve tried on the club site since I broke my humerus, so I’m down to typing with one hand. Probably near … Read more “Times 25626 – what’s the sound of one hand typing?”
Mephisto 2773 – Tim Moorey
Not sure there’s a lot to say about this one – typical clear wordplay for unusual words, and with the eight long entries being pretty amenable, it was just filling in the fiddly bits in … Read more “Mephisto 2773 – Tim Moorey”
