Average Time

I normally take my time on these, however, recently noticed there is a time tracker and you compare to the average so today I went in with the mindset of speed as a one off.

So I did it in 1m 27secs and at time of writing the average is 1m 34secs so ok, I did it quite quickly. However, I also notice the average clues used was 2. So are you telling me seriously people used a couple of clues in the first minute without even trying?

Or am I just seeing the wonders of averages at work here where superstars are knocking it off in 15 secs and then the double clue guys have taken 5 mins. Even then, I don't use a clue unless I've been stuck looking solidly for 20 mins.

Is the minute cryptic app not on the App Store anymore?

I can’t seem to find the “official one” anymore. I still have the downloaded app but can’t find it in the store itself.

Thanks in advance!

Can we just focus on discussing actual ones from the app?
