A brief history of the origins of these crosswords for those who are new to them. As a blogger of the Times Quick Cryptic Crossword on Times for The Times every other Friday, I have often had comments on the blog bemoaning that The Times only provides a Quick Cryptic on Mondays to Fridays. When I finally gave up work at the end of February 2020, I decided that I would try my hand at compiling crosswords. It was with some trepidation that I published, in May 2020, the first of these Weekend Quick Cryptics to fill the gap. Well it seemed to go down well so I did another. And then my fellow crossword solver and commenter on Times for the Times, Phil Jordan, volunteered to produce some too! And then so do did Sawbill, So now we take turns, publishing each new crossword via my Friday Quick Crossword blog. The Times has now started publishing a Saturday Quick Cryptic, but we will continue as the Sunday Times still doesn't have one. This is an index to the complete series of crosswords.
Some people have asked where they can find the previous Weekend Quick Cryptic
Crosswords that Phil, Sawbill and I have produced. So here is an index I will
update every time we publish a new one. Click on the QCx labels to get to

Just discovered this little haven of joy. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the cryptic crossword under the tutelage of Dr John who also posts here. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you John and Phil,
ReplyDeleteReally enjoed doing all 16 of your puzzles (so far). Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next one.
What happened to QC36? I missed it last weekend and came to look for it only to find it no longer exists!
ReplyDeleteApologies. There was an error in the link. Now fixed.
DeleteThank you for your labours. I have only just found this set of QCs. The interactive nature is very easy to follow and very satisfying; congratulations on a great job.
