Eighty Sunday Times cryptics in a practical solve-and-check format

Compiled by Barbara Hall, this third annual collection gathers 80 cryptic crosswords from The Sunday Times. The book foregrounds the clue-solving mechanics that define cryptics—wordplay, double meanings, and indirect routes to familiar words—through puzzles presented as substantial challenges. Each crossword is arranged across a double-page spread, keeping the grid and clues visible together, while a solutions section at the back provides a clear way to check completed entries or untangle difficult clues. With its emphasis on deduction and clue construction, it is a dedicated puzzle volume rather than a general games collection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Experienced cryptic-crossword solvers seeking a substantial set of puzzles
  • Sunday Times crossword followers
  • Puzzle enthusiasts who value a double-page solving layout and back-of-book solutions
