Minute Cryptic - 22 January, 2026 (I wasn't at all clever with this one and guessed from the definition. Now I've watched the video it's straightforward enough. I am inflamed and want breakfast. I think the expectation of a laptop owner knowing much about computers or software is like expecting a cat owner to know much about cars. It's basically the same issue with both except one has a driving test and inherently worse outcomes if it's used badly. Unless the laptop is doing something really important in which case you'd hope they do know what they're doing.)

Minute Cryptic - 21 January, 2026 (this is a clue that guarantees a 'well, actually …' as well as a vertiginous concept of nested boxes, but qudits versus the basic qubits cat encoding because, potentially, it makes more sense, and transcends arguments about endianness in Gulliver's travels and computing. Who has the world's biggest sovereign wealth fund? Hint, and no offence intended, because I'm related, they sound like Swedish people but a bit more country. It is not an especially ethical or unethical wealth fund. Slartibartfast was involved with the coastal design. For breakfast I am going to eat food consisting of defrosted berries, raisins, cocoa, chia seeds and all bran. What I really fancy is a fried egg sandwich with buttered wholemeal bread, a sprinkle of Fleur de sel and a pinch of white pepper. With a mug of Yorkshire Tea, with the minimum of milk - because my lactose tolerance is somewhat Asian, but just a tiny bit of milk makes it the perfect mug of tea.)

Minute Cryptic - 20 January, 2026 (yeah. Gosh I'm inflamed, with spondyloarthritis, which I think is chance exacerbated by being sedentary yesterday. Itcs not a good condition for hard physical labour but it's a worse condition for no physical labour and the worst think is the body is telling the mind not to do it. So one has to ignore that and do a bit even if it's not much. Preferably more than a bit. Ideas include attempting to do the Riverdance dance, cleaning out the cable draw, kicking a football in a field by myself, buying 14 value tins of baked beans at Sainsbury's and carrying them home in a bag for life, carrying big books, looking for things that don't exist, taking picture of Victorian and somewhat later postboxes, a lunchtime trip to the library, painting a picture, or dogging which I don't want to do because I haven't got a metal detector and it would exacerbate my back.)

Minute Cryptic - 19 January, 2026 (At least this wasn't taxing. A good surface to the clue. As an adult the principle problem with burning the candle at both ends is a greatly reduced chance of having adequate time to sleep it off. Today I have planned ahead for breakfast. Specifically 3 hours before breakfast when I put 20gm of raisins and a teaspoon of cocoa powder at the bottom of a bowl and topped it with 80gm of frozen redcurrants/blackcurrants/raspberries and sprinkled it with another teaspoon of cocoa. I've covered it and put it on the fridge to defrost. I'm eating it with 40gm of All Bran, 100gm of Greek yoghurt and 15gm of chia seeds.)

Minute Cryptic - 16 January, 2026 (The surface of this clue is very The Telegraph or other newspaper. The Telegraph's is generally one of the less wanky cryptic crosswords. I unfairly bismirched The Telegraph's cryptic book a bit anon. I am also quite hungry. This is in part because I'm back to a nearly vegan, mostly vegetarian, I suppose, diet, while I shed the 3kg or so I increased in weight over Christmas.

Minute Cryptic - 14 January, 2026 ( I'm getting uptight about these which is slowing me. I think this is a good intro clue for beginners in that it introduces many of the key elements of cryptic crossword clues. I need to relax a bit about these because it's interfering with solving them, I think it's partly that I keep immediately jumping to complicated solutions. I don't know. I'll get back to being more relaxed about them soon. I think I have to impose a mantra. Although repeatedly saying "don't be a dick about it" is not constructive before breakfast. At least breakfast will cheer me up.) "Original Big Bad Wolf is foremost huffing and puffing creature" (8) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 🏆 0 hints – 2 under the community par (43,700 solvers so far).

Minute Cryptic - 11 January, 2026 (took me longer than it should've. I ended up eating the Surf and Turf burger from McDonald's Secret Menu promotion. It was OK. The fish used was pollock which can be good but was processed in such a way that it didn't taste particularly fishy. I've cooked pollock in past , several times in fish creole and as 'seasoned fish', and it doesn't have to taste that much like a child's fish finger, or 'fish sticks' as they're known in America and popularized as a term by Kanye. in the shape of a square. Maybe it'd be good with something like tartare sauce as a kind of crispy enabler. I accidentally put over a tablespoon of Carolina Reaper sauce on my main meal and had three involuntary hiccups. No vasodilation. When I've gone full on with the chilli the hiccups//cold sweats/mental challenge goes on all meal but I haven't done that for a while. In my experience it only seems to be deleterious from about day 4.) "Oceanographer's 9 to 5 is noble?" (5) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 🏆 0 hints – 1 under the community par (49,740 solvers so far).

Minute Cryptic - 10 January, 2026 (this clue took me too long to get because I had the answer fairly early on but didn't perceive it. Also not helped by wanting breakfast. I've currently run out of frozen fruit so today I'm going to have 40gm of All Bran with 100gm Turkish style strained yoghurt, 20gm of raisins and a teaspoon of cocoa powder, with a large mug of tea. Dinner is going to be a basic vegan chana curry which I made with Trinidadian Chief Brand Curry Powder/roasted ground cumin (the Trinidad roast cumin is unique)/green sauce (similarly - a bottle from relatives), with a couple of wholemeal roti. I am mostly vegan, which would be more accurately described as mostly vegetarian. It's partly about the morality of the mass consumption of meat and its environmental effects and partly because I think a diet that has lots of vegetables and fibre is a good thing on account of no longer finding constipation, that, funny from about my mid 30s. Constipation is still a bit funny. Especially if it's not me that is constipated. For lunch I am going to have a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger.)

Minute Cryptic - 6 January, 2026 (I got it but I didn't enjoy it. It's a good clue but, for me at least, and to some it would be a compliment, was not dissimilar to a clue in a The Guardian or The Telegraph cryptic crossword minus all the guff referencing Guardian-y or Telegraph-y things. In that there was a huge search space and a narrow path through. Not dissimilar to Christian's Journey through the valley of death in The Pilgrim's Progress, getting more Telegraph-y, or a reference to Icarus via Joyce's Daedalus and avoiding stout and sunlight. Which could be Guardian-y or Telegraph-y depending on the emphasis on myth, modernism, Irish complexions or managing to sell people stout by convincing them it's good - the ultimate proof the Irish are among the smartest in the world and undoubtedly a bit magic.)
