Minute Cryptic
Minute Cryptic is a brain teaser game that revolves around cryptic crossword puzzles that are condensed into a short time. Each level focuses on a single question, but don’t think that’s easy — just one question can keep you guessing for minutes.
Minute Cryptic Gameplay
In each level, you’ll be presented with a single cryptic crossword puzzle. It may sound like a normal crossword, but in reality, the question is hidden through wordplay, metaphors, and visual tricks. For example:
- "One covered in scales swimming at cove" – it sounds like it’s about crocodiles or reptiles, but "swimming" here is actually an anagram. When you anagram “cove”, you get “octave” – a musical term associated with “scales”.
- "Stick cooling eggs in the trash" – this sentence uses the image of "eggs" to represent the letter O in cooling. When you put two O (eggs) in the “trash can” (remove), you will be left with cling, which means “stick”.
- "Hands in Long sandwich gloves say" – here, “long sandwich” is a sub, “gloves” can be mitts, and when combined together they become submits, which means “hands in” in the sense of submitting.
Feeling when playing Minute Cryptic
Minute Cryptic not only requires vocabulary and reasoning ability but also requires players to quickly identify familiar “signs” in cryptic crosswords, such as:
- Anagram indicators
- Tips for omitting letters, replacing letters
- Sound games (homophones)
- Visual cues
Each puzzle is like a battle of wits between you and the creator, where you have to be on guard against misdirection and take advantage of every small clue to find the answer.
Minute Cryptic is a great choice if you like to practise your deductive reasoning skills and enjoy the feeling of finding the final answer. Each level is just one question, suitable for short breaks. If you like more difficult puzzles, 64ordle is a suggestion.
