Cryptic Crosswords Online And Free
15 Answers
Economies have made me give up buying the i newspaper on weekdays and the IOS at the weekend, but I'll continue getting the Times on Saturdays because it has the jumbo crosswords.
That has got me wondering which cryptic crosswords are freely available online. Currently I have these:-
Guardian/Observer http://www.theguardian.com/crosswords which provides new crosswords every day of the week
Financial Times http://www.ft.com/life-arts/crossword 6 days out of 7
Spectator http://www.spectator.co.uk/life/crossword/ every Thursday
Private Eye http://www.private-eye.co.uk/sections.php?section_link=crossword every other Friday
Are there any other sites that provide new cryptics regularly? It doesn't matter if they're only available days after they have appeared in print, the only criterion is that it has to be free - if the grid and clues appear on screen then I can take screenshots and use a graphics tablet and pen to fill in the image of the grid.
TIA

I'll start you off bibble - and then watch this thread with interest. I stopped getting a 'Daily' a few years ago, although a birthday present was a years subscription to the DT.
