And if you don’t solve yourself, you’ll see Loon make a much appreciated appearance at the end of the Cracking the Cryptic master class on YouTube today! #cryptic #crossword

Cryptic crosswords look tricky, but there are conventions that can help newcomers. Most clues comprise a cryptic part and a straight definition. Our daily puzzle has both cryptic and regular clues. Try it now: econ.st/4aP2haW

Today’s Guardian cryptic by Soup has a charming theme that British comedy fans will like. Lots of Good Clues www.theguardian.com/crosswords/c...

Nice - Bob Weisz just posted a few of his crosswords previously published by The Browser. Recommended! talesfromthecrypticcrosswords.blogspot.com/2026/02/7-fu...

Thanks to everyone that's bought a copy so far! Glad to see they're arriving safely - I love seeing all your photos :)

Have been working my way through this Unch magazine @unchcrosswords.com. Superb, highly recommended.

Solving cryptic crosswords is not (yet) a sport in the Winter Olympics, but it's considerably safer and warmer. Join us on Twitch at 12 to help tackle new ones by Ghoti @fimjishwick.bsky.social and Serbosh! #CrypticSunday twitch.tv/crypticsunday

Pleased to feature in Issue 2 of @unchcrosswords.com with a themed crossword and Nina too! @henriwords.com

Ooh ooh it's @unchcrosswords.com - a little bit of tangible joy

Big thanks to everyone that’s posted a photo of Unch issue 2! Although there are rather a lot of photos of cats. Don’t get me wrong, cats are lovely. But WHERE ALL THE DOGS AT? 🐶🐕🐩🐾🐶🐕‍🦺🦮🌭🐶

Really enjoyed @mpcryptics.bsky.social puzzle in second issue of @unchcrosswords.com

carrie's self-promotion post: there's still time to be the 3rd person to solve, or the 13th or so person to listen to and enjoy, what is universally lauded as the most delectable musical album of the last several months (if not years): that beloved crossword album known only as “Puzzles of 2025”.

Prounouns in the #crossword in *1930*!

I've finally made a Bluesky version of a niche Twitter account I used to run that does topical news cryptic crossword clues. If you fancy writing clues for it (I know setters follow me), DM for details!

Just remembered I still have the latest #OffGridPod to listen to, albeit 11 days late. Fortunately, they're not time sensitive, so if you're a wordy/trivia-loving/quizzy/crosswordy type who's late to the party then you have 68 wonderful episodes waiting for you...

Breakfast in America? Thanks for getting it all the way over to me, @unchcrosswords.com!

Episode 7 of Crosstalk with @bewilderingly.bsky.social is out now! Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6x9j... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

I think there are four basic grids that crosswords tend to be based on. I don't know if they have names, but this is what I call them:

Happy #CrypticSunday anniversary!

Hooray, it’s here! Many thanks to Matt for replacing the first copy which went AWOL somewhere in Royalmailland… @unchcrosswords.com #crypticcrosswords #crosswords

Look at these beauties 🤩

My cryptic crossword #lightbulbmoment of the day today is realising that “American intern” is an anagram of “ancient mariner”.

Very excited to dig into the new issue from @unchcrosswords.com!

Yesterday this lovely magazine arrived in such an official-looking envelope I briefly suspected I was being recruited into a secret society. Which isn’t far off: setting & solving cryptics often feels like belonging to a very happy secret society. Many thanks to @unchcrosswords.com & @wyrd.systems!

Tattersail doesn't look terribly impressed with @unchcrosswords.com issue 2.

I got my copy of Issue 2 of @unchcrosswords.com this morning. I've got a lot of puzzling ahead of me this weekend. #cryptics
