Delightful long weekend at Harlequin Fayre playing with The Dead Set, and running a crossword solve-along on the curio stage, solving @guineverecryptic.bsky.social’s recent Quiptic :)

As seen on Reddit… Interesting idea!

A crossword clue - Bite-sized food? (6)
The dots of the two i’s and the question mark, as well as the dash, are coloured blue. The rest of the text is black.

Whilst I appreciate BBC Norfolk's anagram-based reporting - they could have taken it one step further... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #anagram

A mock-up road sign "IT Nightmare, please drive slowly"
Another mock-up sign "IT Nightmare, all speed is very low"

Is this an error in my guardian book of cryptics or left blank on purpose? What would you put in this space? Keep out of the black and into the white. There’s nothing in this game for two in a light!

Lecturing about design literacy for the first time today on a new MSc module in Science Communication at UEA and got sketched by one of the students! This is how straight I think my nose is. Others may disagree.

Greetings from Bergen @unchcrosswords.com ❄️ Just finished an excellent puzzle by @liari.bsky.social

Thanks to YouTube Music for offering up a tesselating bleak landscape of forgotten musical favourites. Spooky.

It’s grid on one side and ruled on the other…. Very useful. Uncoated paper obvs.

PeterMF@petermoorefuller· Nov 4

It’s not easy. Gave it a go. I’ve ended up with a lot of fours. Would probably do some eight letter clues in those!

Oh bugger off Acrobat.

The first page of a PDF of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. At the top of the page is a message from the software reading “this appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary using AI Assi…”

First puzzle (great stuff @guineverecryptic.bsky.social ) solved in red ink - looks very stylish @unchcrosswords.com

Squee! Been a good while since I’ve bought a hardback on day of release. I’ve read everything again in anticipation (what a joy!). Can’t wait to see how it ends… #bookofdust

The hardback cover of The Book of Dust, Volume Three, The Rose Field. Cover shows a desert scene with two riders on camels.

On our way from Paddington for the Word Puzzles conference at Oxford! Looking forward to meeting many of you #cryptic #crossword people there!

PeterMF@petermoorefuller· Mar 10

Fun. Couldn’t believe there was an oilfish though. Is three easier or harder? Not sure!

More animal anagrams. Image shows that Eel + Lionfish + Adder = Deer + Eland + Oilfish
