Minute cryptic

well done!

Yeah, me too. I almost hit the hint button out of habit but took a moment to have a proper think about it and it clicked pretty quickly.

Looking forward to going back to having zero clue tomorrow.

Two under this morning

Two over for me. Barking up the wrong tree for the definition and the word play never clicked.

1 under this morning.

Three under but took ages.

1 over. Totally wasn't thinking that way 🙄

1 under. guessed what the definition was, had a think, knew what it was about, took a hint, and then yes it made sense.

My personal thesaurus is very poorly maintained.

2 under. Maybe starting to get the hang of this.

1 over this morning. Meh

Even par today

Capitalisation today was extremely misleading.

Classic misdirect, like:

Flower stems from bog, I heard (4)

(writing clues is hard...)

I like that they are getting harder and putting innones trying to misdirect. However o was stumped. Just didnt see the definition at all

What's your running total? I'm on -9 at the moment

1 over today, -14 for the season

Baffled!

I'll see if anyone else gets it and post an explanation later

Just got it, with hints and letters.

One over.

How do I find out my total for the season?

I resorted to the reveal video. No idea /never heard of that Mars synonym so had me stumped.

Get fucked.
That’s what I think.

-3 on this streak

Quag?
Edit: nah that’s not right. I give up. I just remember my mum teaching me “flower = one that flows”, e.g. a river, but I’ve always been shit at river names

Rose?
