Author   PenfoldPosted on 30th August 2025 at 12:47 AM10 September 2025Categories Jumbo Cryptic

Another gentle Jumbo on my watch, done and dusted in about 30 minutes, so probably a good puzzle for less experienced solvers to have a bash at.

Times 29320 – Tricky Thursday, American edition

Author   glhPosted on 28th August 2025 at 12:50 AM10 September 2025Categories Daily Cryptic

Time taken: 10:00 on the dot! Although there are a few Americanisms in the grid, I was not on the wavelength of my adopted country.

Very pleasant puzzle today, nothing contentious or too tricky, and some nice anagrams.

Much of this was straightforward but I needed aids for one answer so it counts as a DNF.
