Hi all. This one didn’t put up too much of a fight but did make me smile. So it’s purrs from me. I wonder what Pumpa’s verdict will be? And what did you think?

Author   DoofenschmirtzPosted on 14th February 2024 at 1:09 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Quick Cryptic 2597 by Pedro

Author   BletchleyRejectPosted on 13th February 2024 at 2:30 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Quick Cryptic no 2595 by Breadman
