Agree @LikeTearsInRain never heard of 2 of them and the clue for 1D? WTF

Some rather misleading clueing.

DadDadDad · 15/11/2022 07:31

A lot tougher today. I was determined not to look anything up, and eventually deduced the whole grid - it was just 6A I hadn't heard of, but I agree that the 1D clue feels a bit off.

At least the PW was easy.

10:39 for me!

Nah, not liking that one. Guess work galore and definitely a 🤔clue.

Had to keep guessing for the 1D 6A intersection but got there in the end.

Readytostartagain · 15/11/2022 08:05

⏱️ I just completed PlusWord in 03:00 1D just came out of the other answers but definitely harder today

BrilliantGreenFlamingo · 15/11/2022 09:04

I did actually know the blanket one. But had to cheat on the others. I had the wrong (but very similar) answer to 8A so couldn’t figure out 2D. Annoying!

AngeloMysterioso · 15/11/2022 09:15

Todays is ridiculous… the only answers I’m certain of are 4D/7A and I haven’t a clue about 6A

Floralnomad · 15/11/2022 10:11

02:22 that CW was a mix of simple and difficult .

Just discovered Plusword thanks to this thread. Completed in 31 minutes 😂. Should improve on that now I actually know what I'm doing. Thanks for the heads up (although some of your times are quite intimidating)

TwinklingStarlight · 15/11/2022 16:40

@SerotinaPickeler it's freakishly hard today. I'm stuck and popping on here to see if it's just me.

My worst time ever by about 5 minutes! Sorry @oviraptor21 but I was pleased see I had some company!

oviraptor21 · 15/11/2022 19:05

Pleased to know I'm in such exalted company 😂

BrilliantGreenFlamingo · 15/11/2022 19:51

@SerotinaPickeler just don’t look at sunbird’s times…

Hepzibar · 15/11/2022 20:29

@SerotinaPickeler I'm pretty new here and I didn't post some of my times at the start. I felt as thick as a plank. But I have improved and got under 2 minutes (once). 😊

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 15/11/2022 20:44

I gave up and googled - I don't think I'd have ever finished it otherwise....
Hoping tomorrow's will be a bit better.

Sunbird24 · 15/11/2022 20:54

Today’s was definitely a stinker, hope tomorrow’s is back to normal!

Hepzibar · 16/11/2022 06:36

This is awful. Had to look up some. 1D is another WTF and as for the PW- no idea.

This is supposed to be fun! 😂

Someone has pissed off that compiler. Or they’re on this thread, saw Sunbird’s times, and thought “nah, not having that…”

DadDadDad · 16/11/2022 07:54

I'm not even going to record my time today. After 10 minutes, I'd ground to a halt, beginning to suspect that the obvious answer I'd put for 1D wasn't right, and resorted to Google. 1D (with that sense), 6A, 2D weren't in my brain! And 3D I'm not sure about either.

LavenderfortheBees · 16/11/2022 08:02

I had to cheat today and can usually do it in less than 2 minutes. How crap. The answers for some of them didn't really work.

sanityisamyth · 16/11/2022 08:12

Found today and yesterday really hard. Gave up yesterday and today took over 8 minutes with some Googling.
