@SquareRoutes That's weird you say 'Medium'. My Times OnLine identifies 0365 as Easy. I thought the only letter that could go on one spot was the G of Green so a rapid way in.

@edjsun This puzzle is graded Medium, which normally means a 5- to 15-minute solving time. We think the logic required to get started justifies the grading, but well done if you found it easy. It may interest you to know that our toughest puzzle ever is scheduled for May!

The times they may be a-changin’ this weekend but one thing in #TheTimes remains constant: #SquareRoutes is guaranteed to put a spring in your step every weekend. By changing one letter at a time to form words in #Chambers Dictionary, can you turn WINTER to SPRING in 9 steps? 🌡️

@SquareRoutes Thanks for the extra one - completed. Used a spreadsheet rather than pencil & paper.

Here's a special #SquareRoutes puzzle for fans of #DavidBowie to mark the anniversary of his passing. Can it really have been 10 years? (My brain hurts a lot.) 🧑‍🎤 If you enjoy the puzzle then you can find us every Saturday in #TheTimes.

@SquareRoutes 3 mins 30, got lucky with the H in the right place and all followed.

Pull up a SEAT and discard any RAG that you’re reading - it’s TIME to get SIGHT OF today’s #SquareRoutes puzzle in #TheTimes, such a COOL WAY to start the weekend. Do you have the NERVE to FACE up to the challenge? Don’t tear your HAIR OUT over it, though! Happy solving everyone!

@SquareRoutes Morning, is 'Bowie' on-line in The Times? Obviously far more challenging if has to be done with pen & paper.

A special bonus #SquareRoutes puzzle to mark the 10th anniversary of a passing star. dropbox.com/scl/fi/oo315d9…

@TheMagicAnswer @nexta_tv What a load of c03k

@nexta_tv Peace talk offers were made multiple times by Putin, going all the way back to 2022, you dopey dope. The EU, Zelensky, and the Biden administration IGNORED all of them. This, 12 26 22

6 attempts by Trump and no agreement from Putin: and someone will say that it's Zelensky who doesn't want peace? This year, Trump made six attempts to push Putin towards peace, but none of them were successful. The situation once again shows that the Kremlin is not ready for serious negotiations and continues to escalate the conflict.

@SquareRoutes 9 mins 30, nice puzzle. No idea on your extra puzzle!

In today's #SquareRoutes puzzle in #TheTimes, each of the words can form a member of a common thematic class. If the theme was widened to be the next higher level category, which one would qualify as a member in two ways? We'll post a follow-up with the answer LATER this morning.

@MetroBank_Help Can I get help through this page?

Good Morning, Lilia here to help you with any banking related queries you may have today. ^LP

@SquareRoutes @railway200 Well done for the very apposite puzzle. Found it was actually an 'Easy', 3:30; thought my brain was slow for the last two weeks. One issue: when I had completed the puzzle it did not 'stop' the clock and give you the finished page, small glitch somewhere of little consequence.

All aboard for today's #SquareRoutes puzzle in #TheTimes, which celebrates 200 years of rail travel. Bonus teaser: Changing one letter at a time and always making real words, can you change KINGS to CROSS? Let us know your best score! Have a good weekend, everyone! @railway200

@SquareRoutes Not an 'Easy' or 'Medium' for me; I found it a 'Hard'. Could not find a way into it, even having to resort to cheating. Brain letting me down.

On #PositiveThinkingDay be sure to try #SquareRoutes in #TheTimes. If your brain can take more, come show us how wise you are by identifying what completes the following set: Positive Thinking We Get Along So Easily Following You Around Just Around The Corner ????? ?? ????????

@SquareRoutes 3:45, hate 'Easy', what to do with the rest of the day.

Go on! Show appreciation for #PeterSellers100 by joining the party with #SquareRoutes in #TheTimes. The naked truth is you must never let go, so if you find yourself up the creek or in a two-way stretch then try a shot in the dark and you may end up saying “I’m all right Jack!”🎬

@SquareRoutes 12 1/2 minutes, a very nice 'Medium'.

The biggest fish in the puzzling pond who nurse a love of #SquareRoutes will enjoy going through the mental thresher with #TheTimes today. Solvers with the eye of the tiger should sweep any worries under the carpet, and all but the most hammer-headed will be basking in glory.🐳🦈

@SquareRoutes Not an 'Easy' in my opinion, over half an hour. Last weeks Medium though took only 5.

Do-or-die puzzlers who STOP at nothing will STEP up to the PLATE for today’s #SquareRoutes in #TheTimes, a brainteaser with KNOBs on that's not without its KNOCKERs, but anyone who can find a WAY in and HANDLE the pressure should NAIL it and ring the BELL of success.🚪

I have tried to do this repeatedly and cannot. My husband cannot do it either. Is there anyone out there that can do it?

@SquareRoutes @Mickhodgkin Your game is the highlight of my Saturday morning (along with Andrew Robson and Giles Coren).

@edjsun Apologies, @Mickhodgkin is looking into how this has occurred, as we can't see anything wrong in the puzzle file that was sent to The Times. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of what's happened and prevent any further occurrences.

On #InternationalSunDay let #SquareRoutes in #TheTimes be your RAY of LIGHT as you RISE and SHINE. Don’t let any mental BLOCK or devious TRAP BLIND you or cause you to BURN out. With a STROKE of luck you’ll be BATHING in glory as you charge your GLASSES and BEAM with delight.🌞

@SquareRoutes I seem to have software problem with the puzzle. When I select a 'first letter square' I am not offered 'C' as an option, only D,F,L,R,S,W. Going to be difficult to get CREAM.

@10DowningStreet Why the 'beep' is the PM celebrating a non-Christian festival at this time of year? Keep 'Chanukah' for the very small Jewish majority areas, celebrate the birth of Christ for the community at large.

Happy Chanukah to all celebrating in the UK and around the world. May the Festival of Lights bring joy and good health to all. In Downing Street last week, the Chief Rabbi and members of the Jewish community celebrated Chanukah.

@SophieElodie Hi, Hi, Hi, .....

Hi... say it back if you would like to have me on your bed like this...🎀🔥
