Category: Quick Cryptic

The very first clue described my experience with this puzzle.

Solving time: 13 minutes

A fine Quick Cryptic from Izetti today, if a little tricky in parts. 7D, 11A and 21A in particular held me up, taking my up to 6:54. But lots of great clues, my favourite being 1A. Thank-you Izetti! How did you all get on?

A fun puzzle with a theme, pitched around average difficulty.

This is my first time blogging one of Oink’s offerings. I wonder if some of you will have the same experience as I did….

This QC shouldn’t scare the horses, middle of the road time for me. Well- balanced with good surfaces.

Hello everybody.  I’ve had a long and tiring weekend so haven’t expanded much below, but as ever if you have any questions please ask.

I liked 10a, and thought 19a a particularly deft example of its clue type.  Surfaces don’t get much more natural than that.  Actually, there are lots of lovely smooth surfaces here.  All much appreciated – thanks Trelawney!

Double pangram alert!

Quite a quirky one from Teazel that took me 13 minutes to solve…

Slow, quick, slow. Harder than average, I think.
