Time to play a quick game of "spot the imbalance". #GuardianCrossword

On May 4th we had Dice's debut Daily Cryptic; on May 7th (for #30,000): the return of Arachne; Pavo's 2nd DC was on May 13th; today: the first DC by Carpathian since Feb. This is the shortest ever span in the Guardian for us to see 4 different female setters. www.theguardian.com/crosswords/c...

Both delighted and proud that my 100th puzzle on MyCrossword is also the first in the new collaboration between mycrossword.co.uk and fifteensquared.net. The puzzle can be found here: www.mycrossword.co.uk/featured/1 I hope you enjoy it.

Check out the brilliant minutecryptic.com because it’s doing a great job of getting people into cryptics (and it’s me today 😊)

I have been toying with the idea of setting up a crossword magazine thing. Analogue ftw. If you are interested in any way please drop me a line here: letterbird.co/magazine I’ll gather email addresses and keep you in the loop. (a bit vague right now so please be patient! 😅)

Tonight, a stream I've very much been looking forward to: I tackle the new variety cryptics from The Gnomon! (www.gnomoncryptics.com) Come watch me be bewildered and astonished on Twitch at around 9:00 Eastern, www.twitch.tv/thatcrypticguy.
