A neat and entertaining Quick Cryptic from Felix today. I have several ticks of appreciation for good clues on my copy but my COD goes to excellent semi-&lit 7D.
Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic. This time it is Phil’s turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword here.
Quintessentially quirky with quite a quantity of Qs, including a queue of them in the middle of a diagonal. Yes it’s the Monthly Club Special providing, once again, cruciverbal entertainment like none other.
I found this even tricker than yesterday’s Joker taking me just under 7 minutes. Lots of letter selection/deletion/substitution clues today, so a good work-out from that perspective. Thank-you Hurley. How did you all get on?
Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic. This time it is my turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword, entitled “Death of a Canary”, here. Can you identify the event from 100 years ago this month referred to in the grid?
A fairly typical Jumbo, I think, with a good mix of easy clues and chewier ones. A couple of unknowns as usual, but all readily gettable from the wordplay. I liked 6D, 33D and 48D best. Thank-you setter. How did you all get on?
A somewhat wriggly one from Wurm today. I began to wonder if we had a bit of a theme with the number of nincompoop references, but maybe I’m just imagining we are being teased.

This was the gentlest of Jumbos among the herd to be found at this time of year. I don’t keep a record of my Jumbo times, but this may have been my quickest ever. Thank-you setter.
A neat Quick Cryptic from Wurm today. After ABNORMAL LOAD yesterday our overseas solvers might find another couple of clues requiring some UK-centric knowledge, but no such problem for me. Thank-you Wurm. How did you all get on?
Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic. This time it is my turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword, entitled “I Can Sing A Rainbow Too”, here. Enjoy!
A Happy New Year to everyone! It being the first of the month, the previous month’s solution is revealed. So here is my blog of December’s Monthly Club Special where it is my privilege to attempt to unscrew the inscrutable. Thank-you clever setter!
