QC 3251 by Izetti

Author   MerlinPosted on 17th March 2026 at 1:14 AM17 March 2026Categories Quick Cryptic, Uncategorized

An Izetti is always interesting, and this grid has two Battleships, for those who remember the game. I struggled and ended up on 15:21 with one reveal.

Times Quick Cryptic 3250 by Trelawney – a monster in the morning?

Author   KittyPosted on 16th March 2026 at 7:00 AM16 March 2026Categories Quick Cryptic

Hi all. As is usual for a Trelawney puzzle, this all went very smoothly for me – not a monster at all. I much enjoyed it, thanks Trelawney!

Quick Cryptic 3245 by Hurley – not a little grey Fergie

Author   BletchleyRejectPosted on 10th March 2026 at 3:30 AM9 March 2026Categories Quick Cryptic

I’ll be interested to hear what others think, but I found this pretty hard; maybe it was just me though.

Quick Cryptic no 3243 by City

Author   Cedric StatherbyPosted on 7th March 2026 at 1:42 AM7 March 2026Categories Quick Cryptic

Author   JohninterredPosted on 6th March 2026 at 1:08 AM6 March 2026Categories Quick Cryptic

A middle-of-the-road Quick Cryptic from Juji today for me, although your mileage may differ.

Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic.  This time it is Sawbill’s turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword  here.
