Times for The Times: Times and comments on The Times crossword from a team of solvers

Times 28753 – O Tempora! O Mores!

Author   ulacaPosted on 6th November 2023 at 1:30 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

A quirky offering for the start of the working week, and one which was rather more tricky than your average Monday, I think.

Times 28741 – Get on your float!

Author   ulacaPosted on 23rd October 2023 at 1:30 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

Enough to keep you honest here, I think. It took me 25 minutes, so a bit over par for a Monday.

Times 28729 – Not your usual teenager

Author   ulacaPosted on 9th October 2023 at 1:30 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

A typical Monday offering with nothing too much to tax the grey cells.

Times 28717 – Four Weddings and an Apt Balm

Author   ulacaPosted on 25th September 2023 at 1:20 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

Lots to like in this Monday offering. Much that is straightforward (especially in the definition department), but some stuff to get the little grey cells working.

Times 28705 – Memories of Duane

Author   ulacaPosted on 11th September 2023 at 1:32 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

The latest in a run of not especially complex Monday puzzles took me 15:50.

Times 28693 – Happy as…

Author   ulacaPosted on 28th August 2023 at 1:30 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

When I submitted this at just under the 20-minute mark I was so happy I could have kissed a Spanish football player.

Times 28681 – Monday, Monday

Author   ulacaPosted on 14th August 2023 at 1:35 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

Wow! This was easy. YMMV, but there will be PBs.

Times 28669 – Biff City, Arizona

Author   ulacaPosted on 31st July 2023 at 1:20 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

I must have biffed half of these clues, so working out the parsing now is going to take a bit of doing.

Times 28657 – Club Monthly Invasion?

Author   ulacaPosted on 17th July 2023 at 1:20 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

Not my favourite type of crossword this, where an essentially straightforward puzzle has one clue which is of a totally different character to all the others.

Times 28645 – Greetings from Corfu

Author   ulacaPosted on 3rd July 2023 at 1:20 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

Just under 16 minutes for this, so not much to scare the horses.
