3:50 today. I didn't see the cryptic clues option until after I finished. I'll have to give it a shot.
- Would love to know how the cryptic went!
  
  Wow, those were really challenging. I remembered most of the answers from Monday, so I was able to make sense of most of the answers working backwards. I'm still not too sure about 3 down. For 4 down I forgot the answer and got it by solving the clue. Very difficult!

i still can't figure out how to solve this. you need to have an example of what it looks like when solved or an "I give up" button.
- I DM'd you a picture of the solved grid 🙂
I should have read the instructions - just completed it on my phone without knowing anything going in. 11 minutes, but I'll definitely use a desktop next time.
- 11 minutes while also figuring everything out is still a solid time, but yes, desktop will significantly reduce that time!
2:05 Today.
- Now that's an impressive time for a 14-letter puzzle!
