Quiptic 1,340 by Hectence
The Sunday cryptic offering from the Guardian, found here
Guardian Quiptic 1,339/Anto
Anto’s Quiptics in the past have often solicited comments along the lines of ‘decent puzzle, but not a Quiptic’.
Quiptic 1,338 by Harpo
Thank you to Harpo. Definitions are underlined in the clues.
Guardian Quiptic 1,337/Pasquale
Another fine Quiptic from Pasquale. I fancy that less experienced and improving solvers will have appreciated this one.

Guardian Quiptic 1,335/Chandler
Chandler is a regular but not particularly frequent setter of the Quiptic, and also produces crosswords for the Quick Cryptic slot in the Guardian.
Quiptic 1,334 by Anto
The current Sunday cryptic offer from the Guardian stable, and meant to be an accessible route into cryptic puzzling. It’s found here

Quiptic 1,332 by Hectence
This week’s Sunday Cryptic offering from the Guardian …
Guardian Quiptic 1,331/Carpathian
Carpathian is a favourite among newer solvers because her Quiptics are generally approachable and clearly clued.

Thank you to Anto. Definitions are underlined in the clues.
Guardian Quiptic 1,329/Harpo
Harpo established themselves as a setter of Guardian cryptics around three year ago, but this is only the second Quiptic that they have compiled.
