A rather neat Quick Cryptic of, I think, average difficulty from Wurm today. Thank-you Wurm!

Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic. This time it is Sawbill’s turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword, our 90th, here.

Beck’s sixth outing, providing a quality puzzle pitched around average difficulty.

Painstaking wordbuilding and momentary bafflement aside, an enjoyable offering from Hurley’s brow…

A fun one with a fairly easy-to-spot twist.

Hello all.  I don’t anticipate many complaints that this was too hard, but what do I know?  It went very smoothly for me, both to solve and to write up, that’s all I can say.  Except to add that I liked it – thanks Oink!

Nice compact offering from Felix, little harder that usual, and with a few that took a while to parse

I managed to complete in 17 minutes, 2 over target, so the unknowns were reasonably generously clued…

At the easier end today, with plenty of anagrams and double definitions.

11:42; all present and correct. Not as hard as the Orpheus I blogged a couple of weeks ago but still more than enough to keep the solver honest

Mostly straightforward.
