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.

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.

Sunday Times Cryptic No 5161 by Robert Price — this, that and… the other

Author   Guy du SablePosted on 4th May 2025 at 12:00 AM10 September 2025Categories Weekend Cryptic
