New setter? Just a write-in today!

I was thinking the same thing. Only held up by the two 19s, but not for long. Non-Brits are likely to struggle with a few of the references, though.

Bizarrely, this week's Quiptic is much more of a challenge. Maybe someone mixed up the two puzzles?

Didn't Everyman say he was going to experiment with different levels of difficulty in response to complaints that the last few were too demanding...

... or did I dream that 🤔

Eight minutes!!!

Not dreaming Brendan. And an easy and quick completion for me too. Agree there are some particularly local references.

But 8 minutes is beyond me.

It does intrigue me how a setter can opt for an easier or harder clue for the same answer, having never tried to write one I would not know, but I can guess. I suppose some might be obvious anagrams and others more convoluted.

Please could someone post the number of this EVERYMAN?

It's 4056.

Morning, Brendan.

A pleasant 30 minutes. Thank you Everyman for starting all of my Sunday mornings.
