Quite a fun mid-level puzzle, with some write-ins as well as some stiffer clues.

Quick Cryptic No 3278 by Teazel

Author   JohninterredPosted on 17th April 2026 at 1:32 AM17 April 2026Categories Quick Cryptic

Very Teazy from Teazel today with plenty of trickery. Some great clues, though, including a lesser-spotted quadruple definition.

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