TOTW: Driving 🚗

4 Upvotes

Thanks for u/SirJimothySmalls for picking my clue as the winner!

This week's theme will be an activity that takes people places: driving! Make your clues (surface/wordplay) about driving, whether it's the driving test, specific driving behaviors, or cars/driving in general.

Clues will be reviewed until 22nd October 2026, 11.00 BST and the winner will be announced within 30 minutes.

Buckle your seatbelts, keep a minimum 2-second gap, and let's start the race!

(I just started driving recently lol, that's why I picked this theme)

(It was either this or online games after 2010, but I don't really the demographic here supports the latter option)

Cryptic crosswords (preferably in book form) with similar difficulty to the Guardian's Quiptic?

5 Upvotes

I'm still relatively new to cryptics, but find now that the super-easy ones are a breeze for me while the Quiptic is just the right level of challenge for me!

When it comes to non-cryptics I much prefer a physical book to a website but it seems that the only Quiptic book is out of print (and fetches £20+ on eBay!). Is there a (readily available) book of cryptics with a similar difficulty?

The regular Guardian Cryptic is beyond my understanding for now, but would the Times' Quick Cryptic be a similar level?
