The Milky Badger @alasdare.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Your point about everyone being able to learn cryptics is exactly the spirit of this. I've focused on the Guardian because I find the wordplay witty but also unbelievably hard. So wanted to make that more accessible to everyone. 010 1

The Milky Badger @alasdare.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Thanks again.It means a lot. I personally get a lot of joy out of cracking a tough clue. Holding multiple lines of enquiry in my head. Probing different avenues.But I inevitably run into difficultly, which is why it always felt gutting to rob myself of that satisfaction by just looking up the answer 110 1
The Milky Badger @alasdare.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Thanks so much. That is too kind. I haven't had a lot of visitors to the site yet so been starved of feedback so I appreciate it. 110 1
