17:23, some tricky parsings today, but a fair offering, on the hard end of the spectrum in my opinion.

Great series of surfaces in this puzzle from Oink, and after unaccountably missing his signature move last time out, today a porcine clue awaits.

Slow going for me due to a confident but wrong entry for one of the long clues.

A little tougher than last week, but some very elegant surfaces. 12:22 for me. Is it just me or is this puzzle from Oink missing a porcine clue?

I think Izetti has given us one of his easier offerings today.

Definitely on the trickier end of the Spectrum, I squeezed through in 19:02.

Good puzzle from Mara, all green after 13:13, but one clue required assistance to winkle out the parsing.

This offering from Oink was fair, with quite a few that proved biff-resistant, 13:06 for me.

Welcome to 2024, and on my “1 second = 1 year” system my target for the puzzle now creeps up to 20:24. I did not make it today.

Our setter, Kenny, has put a few gold coins in the Christmas Pudding. A couple of clues were unexpected and bright but easy to break your teeth on.
