12 Answers
IF the Radio Times (prize clues) crossword had a rating of 5 out of 10 for difficulty, what rating would the Times have? The Telegraph etc? What would be a good one to do, when you want to try one a little harder than the Radio Times?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I used to get the Guardian Newspaper delivered every day and *ahem* attempted the cryptic crossword... trouble is, every day the crossword was compiled by someone different... Some were *easy* (shhhhhh, I won't tell which days) and some days, well the crossword clues were so obscure that even with Google I struggled..... and I'm not that daft or illiterate... lol.... If I saw a certain compiler on that day, I'd often simply run a mile (Paul, Bunthorne etc etc) but others were great (eg Aracaria - my favourite retired reverend). So, in answer to your question, it really depends on the compiler. The RT is good, medium hardness, never too obscure, ok for a Saturday morning.
