Times Quick Cryptic 2926 by Oink

Author   KittyPosted on 3rd March 2025 at 7:01 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Hi everyone. It feels like some time since we’ve seen Oink, and certainly since I’ve had the pleasure of blogging a piggy puzzle. It seemed not so easy when solving but I actually came in comfortably under my inner target time, about a minute slower than my record. My favourite clues are 1d and 4d.

You know you’re in for a rough time when 1a and 1d leave you completely at a loss.
