A lot of input and interface faffery today. Otherwise fine.

damn, 1:07
hate that PW doesn’t skip already filled in squares like NYT Mini does - so often i’ve ruined a previously correct answer because of it
Yeah I agree. It’s a nightmare. There’s even a setting
but I’m sure it resets every day (TBF maybe if I was to sign up for a Telegraph account it would remember) and it doesn’t work on the first letter, so if you’ve completed 1A, 6A and 9A and then switch to downs you still have to hit the first letter of each column and then you will skip the ones entered on the 3rd and 5th rows.

50s on Monday, pleased with that
would have been 1A then all downs, but couldn’t quite get 1D right away
4:59, jeeez. Took a break, brain was not managing to register a bunch of the CW even though i got the PW in under 2 mins

Impulsively went with CELLS for 7A ‘Phones; circular bands’, forgetting this isn’t the NYT.
