Category: Quick Cryptic

One on the easier end from Teazel, but with some parsing difficulties. Fortunately, helpful crossing letters came to my aid.

I particularly enjoyed this offering from Orpheus – one of my favourite QC’s for some time.

I was unable to get any rhythm or flow going during my solve and wasted a lot of time hopping around the grid in the process.

Today we have a QC from Felix. A little on the tricky side of average but not overly so, I think, going by my time of 5:57. Thank-you Felix. How did you all get on?

It being Felix as our setter, we have come to expect a theme/Nina in the grid. Can you find it?

I found this quite tricky and made heavy weather of my last three.

I didn’t find today’s offering that straightforward and initially wondered whether I might be having an off day….

A well-balanced puzzle, with plenty to think about but nothing to complain about.

Hi everybody.  Despite a good start this took me two minutes over average time, so I clearly had to think a bit.

A below-target 5.45 for me, which suggests it’s on the easy side

A rare sub-10 minutes for me for this Mara puzzle…
