40 cryptic crosswords – over 1200 clues, all new and all original. This volume has a distinct American flavour – There’s something here for everyone, but there are quite a few clues that require some knowledge of American sport, culture, or history. Care has been taken to avoid especially British abbreviations or references, and where words differ in spelling between UK and US, the expected spelling is clearly indicated after the clue.
This book has been revised and updated November 2022.
All solutions are provided in full, with both a completed grid and annotations, so you can see the intent of the clue.
