should have got it much closer to 1 but was messing about with the PW, had the right word but had a wrong square in the main CW

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

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.
