Times Quick Cryptic No 2701 by Felix

Author   rolytolyPosted on 13th June 2024 at 1:37 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

The recent sad news about Richard Rogan gave this typically lovely puzzle from Felix – one of his many pseudonyms – a degree of poignancy while solving.

Times Quick Cryptic 2698 by Mara. Heigh-Ho

Author   KittyPosted on 10th June 2024 at 7:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic
