I thought I was the only one doing the daily express crossword ,most seem to do the daily mail. Is it me or has the crossword setterchanged recently I find them a lot more cryptic now.
Hi nanny. I do (or try to do) the crusader every day, and I find it difficult too. I have almost finished today, but without the computer, I would not have got half of them
nanny, I agree the complier has changed , some of the clues are really obscure cryptic ones and the complier is not following usual cryptic convention either.
Thanks for your replies ,at least I feel now that my brain isnt quite so dossey. Sometimes I can zip through one in about 3/4hour then the next day I will be keep picking it up having a little niggle at it then putting it down again. I have been know to wake the OH up and tell him the answer to a particularly hard clue in the middle of the night - he isnt impressed!
