Puzzle designer is back in control, returning taunt, getting cross (6)
Welcome to my cryptic crossword puzzle pages!
I created this site for all to use as a general reference. There’s something here for everybody:
- FOR BEGINNERS: “How-to” instructions on solving cryptic crosswords.
- FOR SOLVERS: Samples of my own cryptic crosswords.
- FOR CONSTRUCTORS: The heart of this website, THE CRYPTIC TOOLKIT is an index of different aids for creating your own cryptic clues.
If you find any errors, have any additions, or generally want to chat, email me here.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
My special thanks (and highest recommendation) got to the good people of the National Puzzlers League, who are helping me get better and better at the craft (still a work in progress). If you like word puzzles, you’ll love this group.
A double thanks to Crax, who was my first crossword editor, and more patient with me than I deserved, and to Fraz, who spent several months patiently editing one of my crosswords, and through that painstaking process teaching me some the finer points of cryptic crossword puzzle design.
