Times Cryptic Jumbo 1669 20/04/2024

I worked my way through this in 2 sessions but that was down to other commitments rather than difficulty.

I found this really easy.

Most of this went in quite easily but some of the parsing was a bit tricky

A nice puzzle from Trelawney

I made quite heavy weather of this but it was enjoyable and inventive.

Many of these clues have brilliant surface readings.

A rare sub-10 minute solve for me these days…

I completed this in two sessions. It wasn’t the easiest of Jumbos an da few of the clues were very hard indeed.

50 minutes.

An enjoyable puzzle with some inventive clues along the way but others perhaps a little perfunctory.
