BD Rating – Difficulty ★ – Enjoyment ★★★
Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to all those in Canada, especially to Falcon with whom I share this Monday slot. Also Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Columbus Day, and Sukkot as appropriate.
And, perhaps more relevantly to this blog, Happy National Train Your Brain Day — something which is surely best celebrated with a cryptic crossword. Today’s Telegraph Crossword has gentle cluing, no obscure words, and a friendly grid†. If you’re as bad at anagrams as I am then increase the difficulty rating to ★★ (but almost none of you are, so I’ve rated it accordingly).
