Anyone into these? :david: I always just looked at them and thought "WELL no idea what the fuck that's all about" but some videos started popping up on TikTok and I was intrigued. I've started to understand some of the rules around them and the things to look out for, and when you get it, it's actually quite thrilling :shy:

For example today's entry on https://www.minutecryptic.com/

Involved in sex activities? Bang on! (5)

It's exact, because the letters of the word are 'involved' in the words sex activities, and exact means "bang on"

I used to have a go at the Observer one back in the days of going to the newsagents but it's not the same online
 
I may have started a thread or five on Moopy back in 2006 with my own cryptic crosswords.
 
I also love this increasingly unhinged 20-part series of MinuteCryptic parodies:

 
There's a girl who pops up on my tiktok occasionally who tries to vibe her way to the answer by what feelings a clue gives her and it must be a parody because otherwise HER POOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY
 
I have bought this and am OBSESSED. I'm smart now.

I have however just reached chapter 2 where it all goes up a notch and fear my new found smartness is being rather STRETCHED now :evil:
 
Ooh I want that - I went looking for a good Cryptic companion but couldn’t find one - I’ll get that from Amazon. It’s like learning a new language
