"The aim of this book is two-fold: first: to guide solvers and would-be solvers to advance towards the delights of the 'cryptic' variety, and second, to offer a succession of tips to those already in the promised land, on how to better approach such puzzles, and how to improve their existing skills. The 'rules of the game' are comparatively few and fairly easy to learn. In Cracking Cryptic Crosswords, Colin Dexter provides a personal and masterful guide to recognizing and interpreting the various types of crossword clue - the essential pre-requisite to success in filling in any crossword grid"--Publisher description.

Here for your delight is a brain-bending collection of cryptic crosswords for puzzle mavens who relish this ingeniously addictive mental pastime. Unlike the conventional crossword clue, a cryptic clue contains a straight definition of its answer along with a roundabout description using wordplay - perhaps an anagram, word reversal, homophone or word within a word - cleverly disguised to look like a run-of-the-mill phrase. For example, the answer to "Remote tumbling space rock (6)" would be METEOR, an anagram of "remote" that means "space rock." Cracking the clue-writer's code offers mental stimulation far beyond that of the everyday crossword. This update to the original 2012 compendium features an expanded introduction plus dozens of new clues for your entertainment. So grab your pencils, crank up your cranium and enjoy the lexical carnival within!
