A pleasant quickie. Thanks, syzzie.

You're welcome. Not much interest this month.

Just received the other one.

Syzygy, thanks. I've found a couple of the recent puzzles ... not quite as interesting, not quite as challenging. I appreciate seeing them anyway, so should have said so.

Thanks, syzygy. Recently started these, thanks to your posts. Enjoy them.

You're all welcome.

WSJ is fairly easy, so good for people new to cryptics.
If you read the comments on their site, it can be a challenge for some.
Cryptics aren't well known in the USA.

Thanks syzygy, inventive format as ever even if on the gentle side.
