Cryptic Crosswords

Our Coordinator selects a varied mix of cryptic crosswords each session, ranging from moderate to more challenging puzzles. We draw from well‑known publications such as the Daily Mailand the Daily Telegraph, giving everyone a chance to tackle different clue styles and levels of difficulty.

The group works through the puzzles together, sharing ideas, explanations and those satisfying “aha!” moments when a clue finally clicks. It’s a relaxed, good‑humoured way to build confidence, learn common clue types and enjoy the wordplay that makes cryptics so rewarding.

No specialist knowledge is required — just curiosity, patience and a willingness to think sideways.
