I was a fair bit slower than yesterday’s, so I’d put this on the tricky side. Looking forward to see how it fares on the shiny new SNITCH.

Some generous openers and trickier finishers put this around average difficulty for me.

About average difficulty, but I felt like I was helped along by a few bits and pieces still fresh from recent puzzles.
