  • A challenge - not for the faint hearted!

    I've given this a high rating because it is a good cryptic puzzle book but you do need to have a massive vocabulary of including seldom used words and jargon!! I'm struggling but do one when I feel in the mood for a real challenge.

  • It is what it says on the cover Jumbo Cryptic Crosswords. Keeps me occupied for hours.

    Crosswords of different compilers so some easier than others, but all really engrossing and enjoyable.
