Sorry, no #CrypticSunday stream today as @wyrd.systems has fucked his knee up and is out of commission.

I’ve certainly seen puzzles where each clue is a rhyming couplet. No-one rapped it though.

Also, while The Indy's decision is based on clicks, The i Paper presumably doesn't yet know how losing its crossword might affect physical sales of the paper. If you buy The i Paper for its crossword, might be worth saying so here? fifteensquared.net/2026/09/21/i... bsky.app/profile/eccl...
