  • My tip for today: don’t do this stupid puzzle game at 12:10 when you just got in from the pub.

    Am going to start using a notepad to help work it through rather than diving in.

  • Not a fan of today's clue.

  • 1 under

  • Got there in the end. Didnt mind it. The wordplay was obvious so just took a while thinking of words

  • I was too hasty and wrote the wrong one initially, so 1 under

  • 1 under, just kept hitting it with synonyms

  • Who’s signing up then?

  • Took a hint, 1 under

  • Me three

  • 2 under

  • 2 under - enjoyed that.

  • 2 under. Was stumped initially (ha) but then had a flash of inspiration.

    I wish these were harder on some days.

  • 2 under. Quite straightforward I think this morning.

  • Same

  • Too easy

  • Get the impression they start the week with piss easy ones.

  • 2 under

  • I went and tried the (non quick) Guardian cryptic.

    Yeah, hard clues are demaoralising.

  • 1 under

  • Par but enjoyed it today

  • 2 under, good one

  • 1 over

  • Daily cryptic is so hard!

  • I used to do it every day, 25 years back, and could usually get at least halfway, very rarely complete it. Had a look at today's, and could get 6 clues - maybe would have got more if I'd had the time, but not much more.

    In contrast, this week's Minute Cryptics have taken about 5 seconds combined. Graun cryptic is something you really need to do for a while to get into the headspace. And accept they will often use words you have never heard before or will again.
