April’s Maltby puzzle (with the assistance of Barry Stewart Mann) is up on the website.
I feel this one will be a “quick solve” for a lot of people. (I’m curious whether that makes people happy.)

Agree on the quick solve part. I kept expecting the level of difficulty to ramp up and it never came. To balance my day out the Monday Guardian puzzle was harder than one would have expected for a Monday. Is the world a zero sum game?

Yes, I believe that’s the fastest I’ve ever solved a Maltby.
Many of the typo-ridden clues were quite amusing.

I finished it quickly and enjoyed it immensely. I also got some good chuckles out of the no-typo clues.

Agree that this solved easier than the usual Maltby. I still enjoyed it a lot. I found the wordplay amusing and very entertaining.
I wonder if Mann is being groomed to take over? I cannot remember ever seeing Maltby with a co-constructor.
