Author   JohninterredPosted on 27th June 2025 at 1:16 AM9 October 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

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.

Times Quick Cryptic 3022 by Oink – roasting!

Author   KittyPosted on 23rd June 2025 at 7:00 AM9 October 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Hi everyone. Another enjoyable Oinker with lots of beautiful surfaces and some nicely disguised definitions – but nothing too devious for a QC, I would say. Thanks Oink!

A Quick Cryptic from Bjorn, but arguably more cryptic than quick.
