Category: Jumbo Cryptic

Largely straightforward but with a few NHOs and tricker clues.

A mostly middle-of-the-road Jumbo but with a sting in the tail.

A trickyish puzzle for me to blog this time around.  There do appear to be some oblique meanings of words used

Hi all. This didn’t take me too long (about 45 unhurried minutes) but I did use aids for my last answer: I was clueless as to the order of unchecked letters in 2d. I bet I’ll see it all the time now. Nothing much to add other than thanks to the setter. Thanks setter!

Not too difficult. I completed in two sessions.

I thought this a fairly straightforward Jumbo Cryptic.

Plenty to feast on in our Cryptic Jumbo from Easter Monday.

Another easy one I think, polished off in under 30 minutes.

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.

I found this to be at the easier end of the Jumbo scale and completed it over two sessions.
