Guardian Quiptic 708/Moley
Posted by Pierre on 10th June 2013
A Quiptic from Moley that is clearly aimed at the target audience, but which I found a bit clunky in places, with some unconvincing cluing at times. Perhaps I’m being a bit unfair.

Guardian Quiptic 707 Beale
Posted by scchua on 3rd June 2013
A standard Quiptic, made simpler, for me at least, by the many anagrams. Thanks to Beale, who is not a frequent setter here. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle. Please enclose any comments on them in double brackets. Thank you.]]

Guardian Quiptic 706 / Nutmeg
Posted by Big Dave on 27th May 2013
Nutmeg always sets an enjoyable puzzle, but like most of her previous puzzles this one is, peerhaps, a liitle too difficult for a Quiptic.

Guardian Quiptic 704/Hectence
Posted by Pierre on 13th May 2013
According to her profile, Hectence is a Manchester City supporter, so to cheer her up after Saturday’s events (footie haters can look away now) I will say that I thought that this was a well-set crossword, with some penny-drop moments. But there were some clues that might stretch the target audience, whoever they are. And there were also a couple that in my opinion were out of place in a Quiptic. Thank you to her for the puzzle; I am interested to hear what others think.

Guardian Quiptic 703 Pan
Posted by scchua on 6th May 2013
This is probably one of the easiest Quiptics to date. But no complaints. It did have some very nice surfaces, and many anagrams; the latter being part of the reason why I found it easy. Thanks Pan. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle. Please enclose any comments on them in double brackets. Thank you.]]

Guardian Quiptic 702 / Nutmeg
Posted by Big Dave on 29th April 2013
I enjoyed this puzzle, but it was a bit tricky for a Quiptic. According to some of the comments on the Guardian website it is more challenging than today’s Rufus.

Guardian Quiptic 700/Hectence
Posted by Pierre on 15th April 2013
‘For beginners and those in a hurry’, says the puff on the Guardian crossword website. I’m not a beginner, but it’s a good job I wasn’t in a hurry this morning.

Guardian Quiptic 699 Beale
Posted by scchua on 8th April 2013
It’s been quite a while since the last Beale Quiptic, so it took a bit of re-orientation to his style. The NE corner was last to be completed. Thanks to Beale. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle. Please enclose any comments on them in double brackets. Thank you.]]

Guardian Quiptic 696/Nutmeg
Posted by Pierre on 18th March 2013
Nutmeg has produced a fair but toughish Quiptic for us this morning, I think. A good variety of cluing this month, with one or two that I particularly enjoyed.

Guardian Quiptic 695 Moley
Posted by scchua on 11th March 2013
Quite nicely pitched for a par Quiptic level of difficulty. Lots of anagrams to help the solver. Thanks Moley. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle.]]
