I did this while in flight mode on an intercity flight. Luckily I didn’t accidentally refresh the screen and lose everything.

Times Cryptic 29244 – Sat, 31 May 2025. The Porsche, or the bike?

Author   branchPosted on 7th June 2025 at 12:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Weekend Cryptic

An interesting range of topics here. Should we take the sports car or the Harley down to the Italian restaurant?

Sunday Times Cryptic No 5165 by David McLean — Thumbs up!

Author   Guy du SablePosted on 1st June 2025 at 12:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Weekend Cryptic

This ride, as any with Harry at the wheel, was not without twists and turns, but as always it covered some interesting terrain

Times Cryptic 29238 – Sat, 24 May 2025. The girl from Ipanema?

Author   branchPosted on 31st May 2025 at 12:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Weekend Cryptic

Times Cryptic 29232 – Sat, 17 May 2025. One end or t’other.

Author   branchPosted on 24th May 2025 at 12:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Weekend Cryptic

I found this fun. Some of the clues had elusive definitions, others had elusive wordplay. But, one way or the other, everything was gettable.

Sunday Times Cryptic No 5163 by Dean Mayer — Sentimental Journey

Author   Guy du SablePosted on 18th May 2025 at 12:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Weekend Cryptic

Pretty sure I’ve never done a Dean puzzle any easier than this (there are seven anagrams!), but it is also among those I’ve enjoyed the most.
