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.

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

Author   PenfoldPosted on 7th March 2026 at 12:12 AM6 March 2026Categories Jumbo Cryptic

This was a very gentle offering, difficulty-wise, and deliberately so I think.

Hi all. Another last minute blog bashed out on a Friday evening, but as I solved the puzzle with a glass of wine and I’m on holiday next week, it’s probably not surprising that I enjoyed it! Thanks setter!
