The weekend was spent in a bit of a cryptic haze. After demolishing Henry and Emily’s latest WSJ puzzle, I’ve been slowly poring over their book Random House Guide to Cryptic Crosswords. I used to have a copy, but I seem to have lost it in a move somewhere. My man Ross Beresford sent me another one (thanks, Ross) and so this past weekend was spent in awe watching the masters (Henry and Emily) do their thing again, and again and again so effortlessly.
I write this because I’m trying to polish up the arcane (at least in the U.S.) skill of cryptic clue writing. So, expect another block cryptic from me, … ooh, sort of soon, I’d think. It’s more than halfway good-to-amazing. Just needs that final oomph. I’m hoping to get it in decent shape before the little one arrives. (No news on that front, yet, but thanks for asking. You’ll hear about it here, for sure.)
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
