Category: Quick Cryptic

This puzzle struck me as quite difficult, but as I write the blog it doesn’t seem that tough. The QUITCH is over 100, but not particularly high. However, I often have difficulties with Teazel’s puzzles.

A tricky offering from Izetti, who consistently produces our harder puzzles.

A very pleasant offering from Jalna to help us get into the holiday spirit.

My solving time of 14 minutes suggests this was not entirely straightforward. 

A lovely quick cryptic from Juno to finish the week today. This being a Juno crossword, as with previous crosswords from this setter, there is something to find in the grid. It’s not hard to spot, I think…

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

A couple of trickier things going on in a very good example of a QC.

Enjoyable and thought-provoking fare from Oink, though I am expecting some fast times from the speed merchants….

Several chewy clues slowed me down. I’d not come across this setter before.

Hello everyone.  This took me over my outer target time, so I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that you found it tough.  If you in fact did well then well done! Thanks Teazel.
