A very pleasant offering from Jalna which should not scare too many horses.

Times Quick Cryptic No 3050 by Juji

Author   JohninterredPosted on 25th July 2025 at 1:20 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

A great Quick Cryptic from Juji today. Nothing to scare the horses, I think, and some lovely surfaces.

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

Times Quick Cryptic 3046 by Trelawney

Author   KittyPosted on 21st July 2025 at 7:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Hello all. I was a bit surprised to find this was a Trelawney because it took me a bit longer than usual for a Monday.  But not that surprised because I enjoyed it. It didn’t seem so hard when writing it up, so maybe I was just having a slow day.  Thanks Trelawney!
