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

Nice one! Predictable typo in PW slowed me down a little

Nice cw again today I thought but took a little while for pw to click

Floralnomad · 08/02/2023 00:40

01:20 , happy with that as I’m usually very slow when there are no fixed letters in the PW

V fast on the CW, but the PW took some thinking about. Always harder with no greens to anchor off.

Bit more challenging today - 2:57 for me.

Had the clues done in under a minute. But the pw took me an extra two 😱

Same as most - CW quick, PW not so quick.

Stokey · 08/02/2023 08:58

Quick for me today

I struggled with the PlusWord after racing through the grid (relatively speaking). 2:51

Wasted a little time looking for an anagram of 6A

No probs with CW, but PW has no greens again. 😠

2:23 well over 1 minute spent on the PW

Took a bit of letter rejigging for PW.

Finished the grid in under a minute but just couldn't see the PW.

DadDadDad · 09/02/2023 07:44

Grid was very quick, but I had a complete mental block on the PW. Got to 10 minutes, went for a shower, and finally the penny dropped.

I only got in under the minute because I’ve read the PW a few times in the last few days, definitely would have been dredging the deepest brain recesses otherwise

⏱️ I just completed PlusWord in 01:49 PW for me too

I didn't know 4d & 7a so in contrast to others I could get the PW quite easily but struggled with completion of the grid.

Had to walk away and think about that PW - the grid was easy! The PW should have been easy too...I work in a school that the PW is reigning in 😂

Like @Drywhitefruitycidergin I didn't know 4D or 7A so that slowed me down. Once I'd figured out the PW I started trying letters in the empty cell.
