⏱️ I just completed PlusWord in 03:45

Found the CW pretty hard today!!

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 27/05/2023 08:08

Can't share for some reason but 3:04 - agree cw was hard!

DadDadDad · 27/05/2023 08:49

Well, having quoted Chris Lancaster as saying that the weekend puzzles are intended to be a bit easier, I can't see how that one was easy! That one took me 5:28, much longer than usual. Definitely a tough grid - probably didn't help that I had the wrong word in 1A for a while.

Madcats · 27/05/2023 09:10

I cheated and googled willow (otherwise I would probably still be guessing). I was saved by getting 2D in early
1:47 after a google

I think Chris Lancaster is having us on. Also went with wrong 1A for too long.

Floralnomad · 27/05/2023 10:25

01:57 , I was just generally slow

That was hard today...

xelous · 27/05/2023 10:46

Finished the grid but cannot get PW. Very annoying

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who found it tough! I knew the willow answer, which is possibly the only reason I'm not still there. PW was easy enough though.

tough one today!

ifIwerenotanandroid · 27/05/2023 19:34

0:55 easy

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 28/05/2023 07:42

3:07 - is that 3rd tricky one in a row for me. CW not PW. PW was thankfully instant.

Albaniarocks · 28/05/2023 08:36

1.14 - lots of faffing about with CW but PW was straightforward

03:47

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 29/05/2023 00:15

2:45 - slow. Had a typo in cw and took ages on pw

Floralnomad · 29/05/2023 00:45

01:15 , I think my typing has got slower as it was very straightforward , I’m just slow

Albaniarocks · 29/05/2023 08:37

0.37 - nice one today

IGoWalkingAfterMidnight · 29/05/2023 08:43

Spelling mistake in the CW slowed us right down.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 29/05/2023 10:08

0:51 It still doesn't let me type straight in: I have to jab a podgy finger at the first box to get it to notice me! (& do that twice if I'm going for across clues)

JoyDivisionOvenGlovesx · 29/05/2023 10:20

I get that as well @ifIwerenotanandroid. I thought it was my phone or perhaps WiFi connection. But it’s only this site that seems to glitch in that way.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 29/05/2023 10:27

I'm using a Chromebook @JoyDivisionOvenGlovesx Interesting that you get it too.

My other problem, where PW sometimes resets its daily countdown instead of giving me the new PW, has been solved. If I start a new tab & go through google again to get PW, it always comes up with the latest puzzle. Then I do the PW & close the tab.

Readytostartagain · 29/05/2023 13:35

0:51 for me

MarmiteWine · 29/05/2023 19:54

00:56, with typos
