The Sunday Times Cryptic Crossword Book 5: 100 Challenging Crossword Puzzles

By Peter Biddlecombe and The Times Mind Games

A collection of 100 cryptic crosswords from The Sunday Times, one of the most respected and challenging names in crossword puzzling.

These brainteasers will push even experienced cryptic crossword solvers to their limits. The richness of the English language, with its vast vocabulary, complex grammar, and quirky idioms, provides an almost endless source of inspiration for clever and devious clues. As foreign words continue to be absorbed into everyday usage and into dictionaries, they too find their way into the world of crosswords.

Each puzzle is presented in a clear, easy-to-use double-page spread format, with all solutions conveniently gathered at the back of the book.
