Quick Cryptic No 2814 by Orpheus

Author   DoofenschmirtzPosted on 23rd October 2024 at 2:08 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

This one made me feel like a Bear of Very Little Brain. On the plus side, I get my choice of chairs in the SCC.

I found this pretty tough going again: rolled in at the 20 minute mark to unlock the doors of the SCC.

QC 2807 by Teazel

Author   MerlinPosted on 15th October 2024 at 2:25 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Good puzzle for fans of Double defs and Cryptic defs, but some bear traps. Pink Square for me, even after parsing them all.

Times Quick Cryptic 2806 by Pedro – how many ells?

Author   KittyPosted on 14th October 2024 at 7:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Hello all. The last time I blogged a Pedro puzzle I was just outside my usual time range. This time I was very comfortably inside it. My pick of the day has to be 19d. Thanks Pedro.
