Interested in setting cryptic crosswords, or improving ... or just finding out more? Following on from Raider's excellent advice at @mycrossword.co.uk, I've started a new blog series looking at how and why cryptics work: www.mycrossword.co.uk/blog/setting... Hope it's useful / interesting!

Anyone use the Chambers Mac app? Any good? The three reviews in the app store are mixed and several years old…

With so many people taking up setting recently, I’ve put together a quick guide to help you get started. www.mycrossword.co.uk/blog/becomin...

Both delighted and proud that my 100th puzzle on MyCrossword is also the first in the new collaboration between mycrossword.co.uk and fifteensquared.net. The puzzle can be found here: www.mycrossword.co.uk/featured/1 I hope you enjoy it.
