Sixty Sunday Times cryptic challenges in a practical solve-and-check format

The fifth collection in this series gathers 60 cryptic crosswords from The Sunday Times, built around the wordplay, definitions, and lateral clue-solving associated with the form. Sample clues show the puzzle mechanics at work: answers emerge through changes in meaning, letter arrangements, and compact verbal misdirection. Each crossword is presented across a double-page spread for ease of use, while a complete answer section at the back supports checking completed grids or resolving sticking points. With its concentration on demanding standalone puzzles, the book is designed as a substantial crossword-solving collection rather than a guide to cryptic techniques.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Experienced cryptic crossword solvers seeking a sizeable set of challenges
  • Fans of The Sunday Times crossword compilations
  • Puzzle enthusiasts who prefer solutions collected at the back
