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.
A lovely puzzle, pitched on the tricky side.
Some interesting clueing topped in my view by my LOI 15d which combined with 24a provided a lengthy coda of brow-furrowing brainache.
Quality surfaces today from Jalna, who serves up perfectly crafted sentences almost every clue.
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!
The g-nicest work of g-nature in the zoo…
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.
A tricky one from Izetti that pushed me well over my target, finishing in 21:24, and with the last one not parsed.
Quite a tricky one at the time I thought, with the SW corner holding out longest.
I solved this in 8 minutes. How did you all do?
