Times Quick Cryptic No 2666 by Pedro

Author   JohninterredPosted on 3rd May 2024 at 1:25 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

We have several 4-part clues and, for once, no hidden answer in this tricky-in-parts teaser from Pedro. How did you all get on?

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

I wonder whether any solvers might find their brow furrowed and virtual pen chewed a little here.

QC 2663 by Joker

Author   MerlinPosted on 30th April 2024 at 1:41 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

17:23, some tricky parsings today, but a fair offering, on the hard end of the spectrum in my opinion.

Times Quick Cryptic 2662 by Alex – Boo!

Author   KittyPosted on 29th April 2024 at 7:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Hi everyone. This took me very slightly above my median Quickie time. I much enjoyed it as expected, with Clue of The Day 14a. How was it for you?
