## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality for price.
*by R***0 on 13 January 2025*

Ideal for passing away a few hours during this colder weather. Bit harder than expected, but, good brain teaser

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Cryptic Crossword Book
*by L***0 on 5 August 2021*

This is a really good cryptic crossword book. Have I completed one yet - no, lol. But I feel so happy when I finally work out one of the clues, like solving a connection on Only Connect.Sometimes, you can't work out any of the clues and then the next time you have a go you can solve five or six clues with no problems. I think it's a case of getting onto the same wavelength as the setter. Thank goodness the answers are in the back so you can double-check that you're going in the right direction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hurray for the Times Cryptic Crossword!
*by M***S on 17 May 2017*

I waited as long as I could for The Times book 21 (which has just appeared and which I've just ordered). However, I so needed my cryptic crossword "fix" that I ordered this book last month. It has already kept me happily busy and I will keep it "in reserve" when I'm between Times crossword books. I've been doing these puzzles for more than 40 years-- not bad for a Yank! They say crosswords and other puzzles will help stave off Alzheimer's, so these books are good for my health (despite the frequent head-scratching).
