Category: Quick Cryptic

One at the gentle end of the scale from Alex today, as shown by my time of 9:07.

Nothing unfair or too difficult here but not many write-ins and I had to go through the effort of parsing most answers.

I needed the full 10 minutes of my target time for this one as I managed to misread the clue at 17ac.

Quite a gentle one for a Friday from Mara today, if my time is anything to go by…. but I know from experience that ain’t necessarily so for everyone.

Fortnightly Weekend Quick Cryptic. This time it is my turn to provide the extra weekend entertainment. You can find the crossword, entitled “On Your Head Be It”,  here.

About average difficulty, but I felt like I was helped along by a few bits and pieces still fresh from recent puzzles.

An approachable puzzle from Felix, I thought.

A good puzzle from Wurm but with one bit of vocab that is definitely 15×15 level, where it was sighted last week.

Hi all.  It’s a nice normal Monday in crosswordland.  Well, that was my experience – yours may differ.

Lots of clues appealed including 9a, 11a, and even 16a.  I also liked 17d, partly just because I like the word, and 19d.  Thanks Trelawney!

Chewy round the edges

I have absolutely no idea of my time for this puzzle…
