Mos Prize Crossword

Does anybody else think that this crossword has become very boring? It now seems to be all films, TV shows and authors, and is really not much more than a Googling exercise. It was much more interesting a few years back when Chris Feetenby compiled it - I think his son now does it. The prize is £1,500: it should be more challenging!

I find it challenging, but then maybe I'm not so bright!

i doubt if it's possible to compile a general knowledge crossword that isn't easily solved with the help of google

marjessica

Yes, I'm afraid its not a proper crossword anymore. What's the point of googling answers all the time. It's just to win the prize.

Some people like to win prizes though, marjessica. We get quite a few on here who ask for a list of answers fro take a break etc and there some who just copy all the answers from the spoiler sites. It's not my idea of fun but some struggle with cryptics and prefer a crossword that's accessible or where the prize make sit worthwhile googling all the answers

Sorry- my keyboard has toast crumbs in, I think.

The FT Saturday GK and the Express Monday are both interesting and tricky....much better!

It's not compulsory to do it, is it?

Of course it's not compulsory to do it. My point is that for such a good prize, it should be a good crossword - and it's not.

Has anyone ever heard of or know of a prize winner for this crossword - I have been sending off my answers every week for many years ( and the You mag) with no luck

corylus

I just wonder why when the answers to the clues are easily solved by looking them up on the Internet that people just ask for them on the Crossword site to save a bit of effort. Time was we'd be spending ages poring over dictionaries or encyclopaedias looking for an answer.

And yes, I still do this crossword.
