It's Crazy Cryptic Time

Time to try May's Times Monthly Club Special cryptic crossword, the puzzle that uses the most erudite and obscure vocabulary to defeat would-be solvers.

But Mark tries it without using a dictionary!

This one is by Richard Rogan, the Times Crossword Editor. See the video here:

Absolutely love these, thank you Mark!

This was a wild ride, as they often are, thank you for sharing! I lost count at how many times Mark asked "how is anyone supposed to know that word??" while immediately knowing some incredibly obscure archaic jumble of letters! Mark, these videos are a treasure, and I can't wait to watch the next one!

What a joy it is to watch these! I love your reactions to some of the Chambers definitions. Thank you for posting these, Mark!!
