Banging my head against a brick wall here but refuse to use more than the hint.

That took a while :/

Even for me.

Took a hint and a letter.

Bit annoying that posting your score shows the clue, bit of a spoiler!

What on earth do you call them then? Spa as in spats?

If you're doing shit English then the home counties would need about 9 letters

Spaaaaaaa darhrling!

Jacuzzi's mate.

Par for me on this.

1 under par

But I still don't understand the actual cryptic question bit I just guessed it in two attempts

If anyone can show me how to make it more obvious that "CLICK ME" = the spoiler explanation, that would be 100 hot af.

Eeew your septic is showing.

That's neat. Didn't even know you could do that.

Doesn't make it look like a link though. Hiding in plain sight...

Ah ok, these cryptic clues are... um... too cryptic.

1 under and done in seconds with the letter hint and first go, i’m not great with cryptic clues so this was probably an easy one.

It was an easy one.

Ffs. Was completely in the right direction/understood the clue. Was just being thick and needed a letter and the hint. And then was annoyed for not getting it!

How are you giving yourself letter hints? I don't see an option for that

There's a 'show letter' option next to the 'show hint' for me.

I can't tell now coz I solved it. I'll have to have another look.

Edit: I lied, I completed crossword number 1 not the link you posted. Still.

Well it took me since you posted it, and I had to cheat to get the second half of 5 down (not a word I knew) but I completed it.

This is how Einstein must’ve felt when he figured out the theory of relativity.

You got it!
You solved the Minute Cryptic
2 under par

Three under par today, a fun one

V straightforward one, slight issue with the clue, but won’t give spoilers.
