About

Blogging the cryptic crossword from the i.

From Monday to Saturday each week the i cryptic is recycled from Independent crosswords of years gone by. Each day we publish a link to the original blog at Fifteensquared together with comments and clues not covered there.

On Wednesday a solver’s blog for the Inquisitor crossword is also published. Rather than being a definitive blog, which already appears on Fifteensquared on the same day, we aim more to convey some of trials and tribulations of (attempting) to solve one of the harder barred-grid puzzles. Expect many failures as well as a few successes.

Prize puzzles

As usual with prize puzzles, the blog will appear following the closing date for entries.
