Just in case you’re confused about which puzzle this is, given the plethora of jumbi we had over the festive period, this is the one from Boxing Day.  I found it tricky”.

I found this very much towards the gentler end of the difficulty spectrum

I found this relatively gentle, with not too much obscurity or convoluted wordplay

Another gentle Jumbo on my watch, done and dusted in about 30 minutes, so probably a good puzzle for less experienced solvers to have a bash at.

This was a pretty easy Jumbo, taking me less that 30 minutes to knock off but it was fun and inventive with a couple of delightful anagrams to savour.

This was mostly straightforward but there were a few unknowns and “barely remembereds” that required a bit of careful piecing together

I solved this at a leisurely pace on the banks of Ullswater on a sunny but blustery May morning. Standard Jumbo fare I’d say.

This moderately challenging puzzle detained me for around 50 minutes, but some of the parsings needed a bit more work to figure out.

A decent puzzle with a handful of tricky bits ands some pleasing definitions.

A perfectly acceptable puzzle of middling difficulty.
