Crosswords

Every morning I do a few crossword puzzle in my daily newspaper. I even bought books of them and I'm very hooked in it. It's very challenging and gives me a sense of accomplishment. Wondering if there are printable crosswords online?

Cryptics or the quick ones? I used to do the Sydney Morning Herald Quick crossword but after a while could get it out in 10 minutes so went on to the cryptics. Then I found that I couldn't do the Quick crosswords because I was trying to read the clue like a cryptic one so only do cryptic crosswords now.


I don't buy a newspaper any more so have to rely on books of Cryptics these days but you are right they are fun.

Re: Crosswords

I used to do cryptic crosswords from The Guardian with one of my ex's, every day and 2 Sunday papers when we had the time. It was mostly him though, I never was that good at it.

The ones o like nowadays are the code words .. Where they give you two or three letters and you have to work the words out from that.

Re: Crosswords

Haven't done one for years, well since I stopped buying newspapers. Might have another go, there's one in my gardening mag! Don't understand sudoko though, ended up ripping it up last time I tried, too many numbers!

You should try a Binary Sudoku.

Re: Crosswords

I'm afraid that I'm hopeless at cryptic crosswords, even presented with the question and the answer I often can't see the connection between the two....
