Times Quick Cryptic No 2479 by Breadman

Author   JohninterredPosted on 8th September 2023 at 1:36 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

This was fun! A little over half way through a first pass of the across clues I spotted we had something unusual going on.

Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic. This time it is my turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword, entitled “The Final Frontier”,  here.

Times Quick Cryptic No 2477 by Teazel

Author   Mike HarperPosted on 6th September 2023 at 1:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Some interesting clueing topped in my view by my LOI 15d which combined with 24a provided a lengthy coda of brow-furrowing brainache.

Times Quick Cryptic 2475 by Mara – Double double

Author   KittyPosted on 4th September 2023 at 1:36 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Hi all.  Today’s puzzle is by Mara. For me, despite a few moments’ glazed look at 12a it went down like a charm.  My COD is 1d, the surface of which is rather appropriate as I write this.  Thanks Mara!

Times Quick Cryptic No 2473 by Orpheus – time to take a lozenge

Author   TheRotterPosted on 31st August 2023 at 1:13 AM10 September 2025Categories Quick Cryptic

Some slightly unusual vocab in this QC from Orpheus, but nothing that is out of reach for most of us, and a good mix of clues.
