Telegraph Crossword Society.
10 Answers
Living abroad I rely on the Crossword Society rather than the paper edition. Going interactive should have helped but it hasn't as the prize puzzles are no longer the weekend puzzles and have been cut down to a single cryptic, plus a GK and a Quick. Before it was always 2 cryptics plus EV. The position regarding EV is still unclear as it is going interactive but hasn't as yet. To add to this the cryptic they offer - not a weekend crossword - comes out on a Monday. It has always been my weekend pleasure to do the Saturday and Sunday Crosswords jointly with a friend, whoever getting the most questions right to have their name appended to the puzzle. Silly perhaps, but my weekends are no longer the same. I have e mailed the Telegraph (frustrating exercise) and gather they are prepared to make adjustments if the feedback warrants it. If anyone feels they can add their voice to mine please e mail as well. I would also be sad to lose EV as a prize crossword, though delighted if it could be submitted interactively.

At the moment they're printing it on line with the option of posting it, and saying it will be interactive in the future, which may mean I will no longer be able to submit it as a competition entry but will still be able to do it. I usually complete it whether or not I finish it in time to post, but the challenge of 'meeting the deadline' spurs me on, so will be disappointed if I can't enter the competition.
I agree with your comments re. Sat. and Sunday's cryptics, but the fact that I share the frustrations with someone else makes up for this. I will still be able to access and complete these puzzles, but again it seems unlikely I will be able to actually submit them.

Hi Again
I just had another thought!
Do you know that the Guardian & Observer crosswords are now free online? On Saturday you get a very good prize cryptic and on Sunday the Azed crossword, which is sometimes more difficult than EV.
Also on Sunday there is the straightforward Everyman cryptic.
Cheers K
