LOVED this one, such fun clues!
This was the toughest one for me so far but I got there: 04:48. The only comforting thing about having to wake up in the middle of the night because of my lingering cough is theeeeese puzzles always being up so early
Agreed! I have a three year old who wakes me up, and then another in the belly who keeps me up. These mini crosswords are such godsends!
i gave up but i had fun
are you availing yourself of the ‘check’ tool? this was one where i needed it and was glad i had it because i was way off with some of my initial guesses.
this really threw me for a bit! ‘ugh but refined’ was cute when it came together, kind of fun to have a deeply not guessable clue revealed. and ‘free bakery offerings’ – !!
I had to use “check grid” more than I’d like, but also loved the eventual answer to 2 down 💜
3 minutes 49! glad to see i was not alone in finding this to be an extra difficult one
2min 22secs! i nearly gave up but kept trucking
Loved the clue for 2 down 😆
Ooo, a 6×6! And I got it in 01:52!
