I got two clues solved so far in this week's Saturday Paper #Cryptic #Crossword!
Always feels like a win if I get more than 1 clue solved.
I like how 2D in today’s Indy #cryptic #crossword is clearly OOOOO(!). (Nice one, Atrica) https://puzzles.independent.co.uk/games/cryptic-crossword-independent
It's been a couple of days since my latest The-Hindu-#Cryptic; as usual I've released another older THC (Sept. '24) on my site:
"Zero Hours"
Sample #crypticclue from the #crossword:

WOOT! New best Saturday time on NYT crossword: 9:52. Go me! #crossword
...although no #cryptic #crossword knowledge is required to enjoy the pod. Tune in either way! #OffGridPod
In the next #OffGridPod, we’d solved this #cryptic #crossword. You can solve first to avoid spoilers, if you like: https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/prize/29625
Has anyone else noticed repeated answers on the same day across NYT and Puzzmo crosswords? Like 59 across and 4 down (respectively) today? I've seen this before, and it's not like super common words or little crosswordese words - they tend to be fairly distinctive answers (and clued differently, too). Very odd. #crossword
What are your daily online games? Is there a preferred order? Mine are #Wordle, Mini #crossword , #Quordle, #Octordle, #Connections Sports, #Nerdle, #ImmaculateGrid #Baseball, Connections, and finally #Strands . Too much?
I looked at the grid before reading the clue, and apparently I have a very dirty mind.

In case anyone cares, if pressed I could name the following rappers:
• M&Ms
• Nas’y Wrapper
• Lil’ Dog Shit
• 1 Direction
…and… this is where it gets tough… umm
• MC Hammer?
None of those were the answer to one of the crossword clues.
I apparently need to listen to more music. “Siri, play Herb Alpert’s greatest hits.”
Looking at todays #crossword puzzle, I’ve filled it all out except for two square — in three clues, two of which both cross the other. It’s one of those rare, “ I don’t know what the fuck that is (in a foreign language, no less)”, “ I don’t know who the fuck that that is, and I’ve never heard of the movie they’re in,” and “ I couldn’t name five rap artists if you put a gun in my head, so also I have no fucking idea who this is.”
I think I’m gonna have to look one of them up.
I would be remiss if I didn’t make a grid for today.
