For some reason the last one seems to have been deleted for breaching talk guidelines! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DadDadDad yeah, I’ve had a couple over the minute lately, probably shouldn’t do them when I randomly wake up in the night!

I messed up 5 down, popping in the wrong final letter, and really not noticing that 9A was a perfectly normal word.

I resorted to pen and paper for the Plusword and then it was easy

Some odd ones today!

Broadly fine for me, mainly due to lucky first guess at PW letter order.

PenguinsCantFly · 03/02/2023 06:52

The plusword really threw me today 🥴

Another one here who took a while to think of the PW - 7:30 today.

Mumsnut · 03/02/2023 07:38

2.09. Lucky flash of inspiration on the pe after goi g round and round for a bit

The pw just flew out although the spelling didn't!

I thought the grid was one of the easiest ever but the pw was a nightmare!

Found the CW straightforward then stared at the coloured letters for a bit before it clicked.

3:36 and most of that was on the PW , just couldn’t see it

So annoyed at myself. Whizzed through the CW but stalled on the PW.

Had a good old frustrated whinge that it was mean of them to only provide 3 letters, and told myself it couldn't possibly be the word "12345" because letter 3 was in the CW....which it was. In yellow! This is at least the 4th time I've done this now, and twice this week! I wonder if there's any way to change the contrast.

Nice today challenging enough to need to go all the way round twice but a bit more steer on the pw.

@UmbilicusProfundus did you get yesterday’s PW eventually?

OP posts:
DadDadDad · 04/02/2023 08:46

Not too bad today - 1:23 for me. 6A probably depends on whether you've heard of one of Mozart's less-known operas.
