Hi everyone. A puzzle from a setter who clearly likes double definitions … I found it of mid-range difficulty, but used dictionary help at the end. Thanks setter.

Times Cryptic Jumbo No 1777 28 February

Author   JohninterredPosted on 14th March 2026 at 12:05 AM13 March 2026Categories Jumbo Cryptic

An entertaining Jumbo crossword with some clever wordplay and neat surfaces but rather more unknowns (to me) than usual.

Times Cryptic Jumbo 1776 – you mend these trousers
