Times Quick Cryptic 3034 by Pipsqueak – the early worm gets eaten

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

Hi all. I thought this puzzle from Pipsqueak was pitched well: it took me a little under my average time, which is normal for a Monday. Thanks Pipsqueak!

Quick Cryptic 3029 by Dangle

Author   BletchleyRejectPosted on 1st July 2025 at 3:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

I found this enjoyable offering from Dangle toward the easier end of the QC spectrum with no uncommon words or complicated wordplay.

Just the 4th Quick Cryptic from Juji and the third one I’ve blogged. I didn’t have any difficulties but there are  a few clues that some may find tricky.

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