What did you think of today’s Telegraph Plusword puzzle? Were you able to solve both the grid and the final PlusWord?
A well-constructed puzzle with a good balance between accessible and slightly cryptic clues. Entries like the playful “Quality Street rival?” and the neat misdirection in “Way to go?” made the grid feel engaging rather than routine. The answers slotted together smoothly once a few were in place, and nothing felt overly vague or unfair. Overall, a satisfying and tidy solve that kept interest without pushing into frustration, and I’d rate this 4 out of 5.
