@liari.bsky.socialA rare day when I release 4 crosswords. :-)
Show Postwww.mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/4101 Had some lovely comments on my tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart. Please give it a whirl if you like :) Enterprises in Star Trek, say, feature second in show's premiere (9)
Show PostIf I'm actively looking to be easy I'll have fewer 'moving parts' in a clue, and more familiar vocab, more obvious indicators and synonyms, etc. You should just see how your natural cluing style turns out. As long as it's good-quality stuff, there's room for setters of all difficulty levels.
Show PostIt's a bit late by the time the Snitch data's up anyway! 😁 I sometimes have a sense of expected difficulty based on the vocabulary and how it 'felt' while cluing the puzzle, but it's not always right.
Show PostI didn't realise that the test solve list had been added until I read this. Seems like a very good addition.
