Minute cryptic

4 under. FUCK ME my day will get no better.

Excellent!

Was a definite “come on!”

1 under today

2 under

I liked this clue.

I took a letter then immediately sussed the wordplay. D'oh! Yeah nice clue

+3

1 under. Actually understood todays

2 under.

I just watched the video, ffs, as I got the answer but not because my thinking was correct.

Even par. Wasn’t a fan

1 under, took a letter and guessed the answer.

I still can't fathom the word play.

I am girding myself for the dulcet tones of the smug overlord.

I started watching the video and then figured it out whilst he was preambling.

That is a total result.

But I am still kicking myself for not working out the bloody clue.

I am currently studying and tutoring maths and so I am claiming that I found it hard to see through the surface of the word play. Schoolboy error.

A final thought:

Nice clue.

I got 3 under with an exceedingly lucky guess on the second attempt. I will say it's easier to understand the clue when it's written how it's displayed in the video than in numerical form as it was on the website. But even then, that's a tough one

Yep, I just showed it to my son and noted that the use of numerals rather number words makes it even harder.

3 under

1 over. I’m so retarded and I didn’t see it coming

The video used words not numerals, was there a mistake on the clue? It only works as words

I had to listen to Captain Slimy. not happy

Surely it's a mix of words and numerals?

Smug 3 under today, very nice and satisfying clue.

Nice clue today.

btw - what was yesterday's answer? Forgot to go back to it.

Can't remember the clue or the answer!

Can you remember the clue or some of it? Oh hang on, it was something about silver being AG and the setter being me... it's come back to me - the clue was something about being brave when the setter confronted a silverback, and it was Ag (silver chemical symbol) backwards + me making "game".

Needed the hint for today’s.
