Quick Cryptic 2563 by Trelawney

Rest in peace, Jeff. Alternate Thursdays were “Rotter Days” and we will miss you.

A moderate offering from Teazel: not too hard, not too easy.

Myles has set what for me was a puzzle which provided a good challenge without being too fiendish.

A Happy New Year to one and all!

Welcome to the last Quick Cryptic of 2023. It uses the horrid portcullis grid, but the puzzle is, I think, quite gentle. Thank-you Orpheus.

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

A fun puzzle from Pedro, pitched on the friendly side of average difficulty.

Nothing especially difficult here, just perhaps that some of the answers perhaps need a trifle more thought….

Our setter, Kenny, has put a few gold coins in the Christmas Pudding. A couple of clues were unexpected and bright but easy to break your teeth on.

Merry Christmas everyone.

This was similar to Izetti’s last for me, difficulty-wise. I think my COD is 4a, but 9a and 6d were also lots of fun. Thanks Izetti!

Nothing to scare the horses from Hurley this morning.
