Category: Weekend Cryptic

There are a couple unusual—even NHO—words here, but all was clued so cleverly and entertainingly well that my solve was a steady romp.

I struggled with the grape-treading clue. Otherwise, a very enjoyable Saturday.

7:55. Not a very difficult puzzle from Dean this week but an absolute delight.

I found this harder than recent weeks. Possibly that was because I tackled it in the brief breaks in an otherwise busy day.

Some twisty turns here.

This was a strange mix of hard and easy.

14:01. A very nice puzzle from Harry this week.

Once again the Saturday puzzle was soothingly straightforward by comparison with the day before. 

Certainly one of the easiest Dean puzzles I’ve worked, but no less entertaining for that, and flawlessly executed.

Another soothing Saturday, nicely to my taste.
