Times 29351 – I do not know dat

Author   william_j_sPosted on 3rd October 2025 at 7:00 AM3 October 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

A tale of two halves, for me. The science bits and the more classic crossword-ese suited me fine, but there was some outstandingly devilish and original clueing going on as well.

Times 29279 – torture, and not mercy

Author   william_j_sPosted on 11th July 2025 at 7:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

It was such a pity not to finish this fabulous puzzle correctly because I felt outsmarted from the start but chipped away and still fell short.
