Another one that – dare I say it? – continues the sequence of being slightly easier than the average.

Another Joker, a setter I sometimes find hard; I thought today’s puzzle was of medium level difficulty.

A neat Quick Cryptic from Hurley today that isn’t, I think, too hard.

QC No 3383 by Dove

Author   MerlinPosted on 18th August 2026 at 1:40 AM17 August 2026Categories Quick Cryptic

I have to confess to finding this one a bit tough (12:52). I don’t think I’ve blogged Dove before and it took me some time to get on their wavelength.

Hello everyone. I haven’t blogged a Pedro puzzle since 2024, so it’s nice to be reacquainted. This felt like it might be tricky, but I did ok time-wise. I’ll be interested to see how you found it. Thanks Pedro.
