    I regret staying up to midnight to do these, then having nothing in the morning … and yet every night end up doing exactly that. When’s the weekly coming?

    • @al201103

      Same! It's ridiculous. We gain nothing.

    • @Warlach

      Haha, I'm normally up past midnight anyway but do get excited when I realised the new day has begun and the new puzzle is there :)

    • @kevinline4169

      Finally one i got straight away 😎

    • @Riccc23
      @Riccc23 5 дней назад +1

      Haha I'm usually up at midnight too. But other daily games I play like wordle I do in the evening when I'm relaxing and watching my shows. This I can't do, it's usually done when it comes out lol

    • @jadziaschillzone
      @jadziaschillzone 5 дней назад +1

      Same I usually do it at 12:01 from my bed lol😂

    Got it instantly but didn't know how. A bit of a relief after taking all day to work out yesterday's clue.

  • @lindarehill4965

    Leaders - nice clear wordplay. Thank you. I really needed an easy one this morning!

  • @SnapGrapplePop
    @SnapGrapplePop 5 дней назад +15

    I’m new to these and was worried for a sec that ‘interviewed’ was a wordplay indicator that I’d never seen before.

  • @AlexPushkinChannel
    @AlexPushkinChannel 5 дней назад +24

    a nice couple of red herrings - the HR looks like perfect fodder, and i've sseen multiple crosswords ask for 'Don' as a short synonym for a mafia leader. 'to' being part of the fodder was a nice touch

    • @Riccc23
      @Riccc23 5 дней назад +1

      Don for gang leader ..noted for the future lol

    Thx so much for keeping your content going. I’m really enjoying learning to understand cryptic clues.

  • @lmhaze
    @lmhaze 5 дней назад +37

    Disappointed when I immediately but randomly get it without knowing how

    • @Kit-o-matic3000
      @Kit-o-matic3000 5 дней назад +5

      It is such an odd feeling, right??! 🤣 Solving the definition but not the wordplay just isn’t as satisfying!

    • @hydeandzeke
      @hydeandzeke 5 дней назад

      Same. I just guessed and was pleasantly surprised. Now I want to know how I was meant to do it.

  • @AlexDenise-n9q
    @AlexDenise-n9q 4 дня назад +2

    Liked this one, tried lots of different ways until I realised leaders was wordplay. Very satisfying. Video described my thought process perfectly although it took me longer!

  • @DesandSam
    @DesandSam 5 дней назад +4

    Yes! Spotted leaders and immediately looked back at the previous words, of which there are five, and sure enough it spelled out the answer that matched the, deliberately misleading, definition.

  • @Terry142v2
    @Terry142v2 5 дней назад +8

    Definitely a case of ignore the surface for this one! Spent a while trying to get "dons" for the gang leaders fit with HR to try get get a word for "object to" before figuring it out

  • @samanthasimms4451
    @samanthasimms4451 5 дней назад +1

    Instantly identified the definition and was able to get the answer straight away. I answered in less than 3 seconds. This time last year a cryptic crossword clue would hurt my brain just looking at it. Thank you to Minute Cryptic for opening up a whole new world.

  • @Vuloctofish
    @Vuloctofish 5 дней назад +4

    This one made me laugh this morning when the simplicity of it finally kicked in.

  • @kritin4946
    @kritin4946 5 дней назад +14

    I saw the word object and typed thing 2 seconds in 😂

    • @red5_skywalker
      @red5_skywalker 5 дней назад +2

      You and me both, I didn't even consider the wordplay

  • @AfroZen
    @AfroZen 5 дней назад +8

    Got it first go purely on the conjecture that object was a noun masquerading as a verb. Then had to watch the video to see how I got it really.😅

  • @TomSolloway
    @TomSolloway 5 дней назад +12

    I appreciate the discussion about wrong paths and dead ends here. Enjoying being lost in the maze is the fun of solving it. Otherwise, it’s just a path. Paths are boring in comparison.

  • @al201103
    @al201103 6 дней назад +2

    Super quick. I actually got it from the definition, then saw quickly how the word play worked. As always, only a matter of time before I'm stumped again!!

  • @TheSchnelly19
    @TheSchnelly19 6 дней назад +8

    Great, now I have to wait 24 hours till the next one 😂

  • @sarahrobinson1
    @sarahrobinson1 5 дней назад +3

    Got it instantly from recognising the clue. Spotted a few initials and then worked out the indicator. Still, struggled with ‘si’ yesterday so good for my par score 😃

  • @ryansheridan9153
    @ryansheridan9153 5 дней назад

    That was the first clue I got almost immediately by using what I’ve been learning from here. Thanks.

  • @alicetobin5073
    @alicetobin5073 4 дня назад

    My first time doing the puzzle after seeing your vids on TikTok for a while, was really fun and tough. Spent a while trying to put HR into some synonym for "gang leaders" thinking maybe notorious meant a famous example of them or something 😅

  • @Warlach
    @Warlach 5 дней назад +1

    I'm glad for the explanation as i absolutely went down all those ane other options - like that onject to waw a reversral indicator and coming up with synonyms for everything, but got there eventually without hints!

  • @garethpert4799
    @garethpert4799 5 дней назад +1

    I did go down different paths. Once you recognise 'leaders' as a wordlplay indicator it's straightforward.

  • @danvelandia
    @danvelandia 4 дня назад

    In the beginning, I thought that "interviewing" was a wordplay indicator meaning "look in between/among" a word/words. Luckily I quickly abandoned that path and saw "leaders" as the correct wordplay indicator. A tricky labyrinth indeed!

  • @Riccc23
    @Riccc23 5 дней назад +1

    I was actually so confused at this clue but eventually saw LEADERS and got it

  • @pattiaufzack
    @pattiaufzack 5 дней назад +1

    So happy that I got this one!
    Looking forward to the other features that are teased on the app.
    Thanks for making this content. :)

  • @jamesreynolds5903
    @jamesreynolds5903 5 дней назад +1

    I got the answer once I knew it was an Object. Then I worked backwards to understand the wordplay. Nice!

  • @fearlessweaver
    @fearlessweaver 5 дней назад

    Had "cosa nostra" ("our thing") in mind as a possible secondary hint.

  • @drumsarenotnoise7774
    @drumsarenotnoise7774 5 дней назад

    I stared at HRing for a while hoping a synonym for 'object to' until realising I needed just the leaders and the word 'to'. Garden path well trodden in the hunt for traps of which there were none.

  • @CastorQuinn
    @CastorQuinn 5 дней назад

    It's so obvious and I never would have got it. That's what makes a great cryptic clue for me.

  • @baybee6379
    @baybee6379 5 дней назад +1

    I wanted to think but fluked by mistake😭 only thing I thought was, if the context says object means refuse, then that's definitely not it, object is implying something else

  • @JohnAdams-mk8eo
    @JohnAdams-mk8eo 5 дней назад +1

    Got the synonym for object but couldn’t understand the wordplay!

  • @Dr.Death8520
    @Dr.Death8520 5 дней назад

    Object -> thing was my very first instinct before I finished reading the clue. And then ofc leaders being first letters was easy wordplay to justify it

  • @nicolaplays1134
    @nicolaplays1134 5 дней назад +1

    I started by deciding that I would assume for now that object is the definition, and also assume that it was not the grammatical form that it appeared to be in the surface reading. Because it never is, eh Liam ;)
    Thought about nouns that are synonyms for object, came up with thing, noticed the initial letters of the rest of the clue, job done.

  • @kathryndifoxfirewilson
    @kathryndifoxfirewilson 5 дней назад

  • @c.rowlands2511
    @c.rowlands2511 5 дней назад

    Got the answer quickly as a synonym for “object” had to come here for the why!😂

    I got this immediately - which sort of makes up a tiny bit for yesterday, with its "You don't need any special knowledge, unless it is related to actor Johnny Depp" ....

    • @Dr.Death8520
      @Dr.Death8520 5 дней назад +2

      Are you saying you've never heard of him before now? I feel like he ranks pretty highly in terms of name recognition.

  • @pizzapuntthomas
    @pizzapuntthomas 5 дней назад

    It's six past midnight, I wanted to check if I did yesterdays clue, but it's a new one. So I closed it, then the answer came up in my head, I reopened the website and answered it. I thought this was a fairly easy one.

  • @ultrablue8847
    @ultrablue8847 5 дней назад

    I got this really quickly because I misread object (v) as object (n) and then the sentence didn't make sense so I reread it as object (v) but that made me realize it was probably misdirection and I was supposed to think it was object (v) but the clue needed object (n) and the first synonym I could think of for object (n) made the wordplay obvious because it was the answer

  • @WritingInMyFreeTime
    @WritingInMyFreeTime 6 дней назад

  • @d-danielk5525
    @d-danielk5525 5 дней назад

    I just guessed Thing in 10 seconds as a joke, because I assumed the definition was Object.
    After 2 minutes I got no further than that and checked it.
    edit: I feel dumb, I did check one or two words for their leading letter, but not all...
