ReplyDeleteToday's.puzzle is absolutely doer-friendly. It will improve skills , morale of novice solvers and the CW becomes broadbased. Except for few, most of the clues can be done with ease and a little googling!
ReplyDeleteThank you sir, Incognito!
When I was a beginner to Cryptic CW, I used to enjoy Incognito, due to simple surface and clues leading to right annotation (without effort). I used to call his CW as “ Beginners Delight”. Good to see some of the beginners echoing this even after 6 years. Incognito will be always remembered for this.
