Really chuffed to make my debut as the setter of the Minute Cryptic ‘Mini’ crossword today! The 7x7 Mini is one of the many benefits you get if you’re a paid-up member of MC. Pleased to see it’s going down well so far! Thank you so much for the opportunity @lrlr.bsky.social! #cryptic #crossword

Sad to see the Independent has ceased their cryptic. If you’re a former independent setter, drop me a DM. Minute Cryptic is accepting limited submissions for mini cryptics.

It's so weird when you're writing a crossword and a theme accidentally emerges. Like, why are 25 per cent of these clues about chickens for some reason.
