I’ve officially solved the entire archive of #MinuteCryptic cryptic crossword clues! So much fun!

I’m open to recommendations of other cryptic puzzles to try - though I’m not sure I’m ready to move on from Minute Cryptic’s security blanket of hints and explanations, even if I rarely need them now…

Reminder that my cryptic crossword solving stream is now twice a week (so I don't feel pressured to stay up as late). Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 PM to 12:00 PM Eastern on twitch.tv/thatcrypticguy, focusing mostly on discussion of US-style grids both indie and not; recommendations always welcome!

In response to popular demand (well, one person - you know who you are), the cryptic crossword Peckham pub dates for November and December are Nov 11th and Dec 9th. The others are also meeting tomorrow, with my apologies for not being there as a book event calls.

That's a good book! I was thinking of re-reading it as I don't think I've read it again since we bought it when it came out, maybe twenty years or more ago.

Yes! I am very much here for this and the new puzzles newsletter from @theobserveruk.bsky.social

“I want cryptics to catch on again the way they did a century ago, because they’re fascinating and they’re ours – and AI can't take them away from us.”
