  • Yep, I didn’t get it at all and was something like 4 over with letter suggestions.

  • Easy one but I liked the clue.
    2 under, show letter clue and the first guess, well under a minute.
    Though sometimes I’m stumped and get bored so just hit the show letter repeatedly as I’m not going to ponder beyond a few mins cogitation.

  • 3 under. Tried a synonym of what I assumed was the hint

  • 3 under too.

    I liked it, relatively complex for Minute Cryptic with a pleasingly relevant surface reading.

  • Same. 3 under

  • Same and same um, technique too

  • Par. I knew everything except the answer

  • 2 under and 2min past 12 first guess but no idea how it relates to the rest of the clue? Bit shit that one.

  • 2 under. Same.

  • 2 under, nice clue.

  • 2 under

  • Yeah, easy guess but annoyed I can’t figure out the clue.

  • This one reminds me of some Bicycle Tag of Bike clues (probably some of mine too over the years) where the easy bit is the answer, but understanding the clue takes longer.

  • Spoiler Extremely late gets you le ("extremes" of late), after "at the end of" cast (a group of actors might be a play group), and then a castle is a home for a prince
  • Much obliged! Was more straightforward than I realised.

  • I got the first bit, but was thrown by the second, focusing on the more obvious meaning. However, I got the answer just on the definition.

  • Goddam 3 over par.

    I am annoyed at myself. I figured out the clue and just totally failed to find the correct synonym.

    Proper kick myself moment.

  • I stared at it for ages then it came to me while riding to work! It’s a good one.

  • Its a good one but it got me. 1 over

  • +3 angry and sad

  • 2 under, but took 3 guesses. Which doesn't really feel like it should be 2 under.

  • Do you not lose a stroke for checking an incorrect answer?

  • Don't think so. They're free

  • Had no idea! I’ve still never taken a hint or a letter, I’d only resort to that at 11:55pm. I’d rather go insane for a whole day.

  • Even par today
