  • Same, i've been doing the Guardian Quick cryptic too (its free) since this whole minute thing kicked off.

  • What I wasn't expecting was how many chuckles I was going to get. Today's has a fair few clues which have made me grin once I've finally got them the right way round.

    It's nice to know you've definitely nailed it because you can completely see the logic of the clue in the answer, but there have been a few where I am stumped as to how on earth the whole clue is supposed to work and I can only get it on the basis of being 99% I can see the definition and the answer fits the letters I already have on the grid.

  • fifteensquared.net is a good resource for explanations of the clues: they post annotated solutions for most of the major dailies. Best to look after getting fully stumped

  • Yeah, i kind of skim through the clues, do the ones where the answer kind of jumps out immediately and that provides the extra letters to help with some of the other answers. It an iterative approach.
