Guardian 30,099: Anto
A puzzle that might have fitted well in the Quiptic slot, though with a couple of quirky “subtractive” clues. (However, I see that some commenters one the Guardian site found it challenging.. ah well.) Thanks to Anto.
Guardian cryptic Bank Holiday special by Maskarade
The now traditional Guardian Bank Holiday jumbo puzzle by Maskarade. For some reason, the Guardian chose to print the solution (upside down) immediately below the puzzle in the printed paper. Those solving via the website had to click on a separate link to access the solution. Those who subscribe to the Guardian app did not get offered this puzzle at all! Because there is no prize, and because the solution is immediately available, we have decided to publish this blog early on Monday.
Guardian Quiptic 1,397/Harpo
Harpo is on the oche throwing some gentle Quiptic darts at us this morning. This one went in steadily for me: some well-positioned anagrams to give me a foothold in the grid, then some cryptic definitions to wrestle with to get me over the line.
Blog for Guardian Jumbo of Saturday 29th August
