Minute Cryptic - 7 September, 2025 (Good clue as outlined in the attached video. It's another one where the general advice, given to myself, which led to solving it, was think dumber. Sometimes one has to think dumber to think smarter or something, a Gordian knot, although Gordian solutions often don't work, just sometimes. I am looking forward to doing the Minute Cryptic Book. I need to improve my anagrams skill, I'm almost on the cusp of that but I'm not comfortable with larger ones yet, but that'll change, it's not capacity it's that I haven't bothered until now, and started doing cryptic crosswords in late May. Among my first solves was "Walked over the rainbow initially, Dorothy's heading beyond Oz. (8)" which is a pretty tough one because of 'heading' when one tends to think of something at the top, but I had to think more literally and Dorothy's heading is D and it's beyond Oz, which also means ounce, giving ounced, then it's a matter of walking over The Rainbow initially. Yeilding: tr-ounce-d. The answer is pretty much always in the clue, although there are also double definitions and other things which can be a bit trickier. I'm learning quite casually so don't expect me to improve quickly. I'm thinking about a notebook dedicated to it but I find when I do a notebook if I'm satisfied with my progress it has loads of blank pages at the end and I hate that, so I may use a notepad or electronic note taking. I like my notebooks to be monomaniacal and entirely filled. The Minute Cryptic book would have sped up learning dramatically and I'd recommend it. An American print is coming soon.) "False start, exiting Boston roundabout" (3,2) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 I scored: 2 under par
