Anyone online with access to CC able to do me a favour? I'm PC less while travelling and need a grid edited to change the lights. I can send an XML export from MyCrossword and just need half a dozen lights removed. #crypticcrossword #crossword

#CrypticCrossword clue: Best software for writing code looks like Artificial Intelligence (5).

Disappointingly simple #Times Jumbo cryptic crossword this morning. What am I going to do this afternoon?

I never really got into #Wordle and it's various clones but @cyclotopie mentioned #Pendantle yesterday and having checked it out, it's very captivating/frustrating in a #CrypticCrossword sort of way.

Just solved 532 but still have a very bad grasp of the best way to approach guessing words.

I was involved with a collaboration of #crypticcrossword setters who put together a thematic series of barred puzzles for EV (Enigmatic Variations) in the Sunday Telegraph last year on the climate crisis and solutions. Some very disheartening comments from some vocal regular solvers. Made me both sad and angry.

My July #cryptic contains my longest-yet answer in a #crossword. https://tlmb.net/blog/trio/ #cryptics #CrypticCrossword #crosswords

I'm in this month's 1Across, with a puzzle I expect the setter Alf doesn't know he inspired. #cryptics #crosswords #CrypticCrossword
