Times Cryptic Jumbo 1763

Author   DvynysPosted on 20th December 2025 at 12:01 AM16 December 2025Categories Jumbo Cryptic

Straightforward but enjoyable puzzle, with one guessable scientific term for those of an arty bent; and a dish made from the underrated buckwheat.

Times Cryptic No 29417 — It went well with wine

Author   plusjeremyPosted on 19th December 2025 at 2:27 AMCategories Daily Cryptic
