From the New Year we will start to cover the advanced cryptic puzzles that appear on a Saturday in the Independent Weekend Magazine. These puzzles are edited by Mike Laws and are generally easier than the Listener or Enigmatic Variations puzzles but a bit harder than a plain barred crossword so they’re ideal if you want to start exploring the world of special advanced cryptics. A review of a recent puzzle, “Squares” will appear on the 22nd of Dec as a taste of things to come.

Might as well do Beelzebub in the IOS too while you’re at it!
We would, but none of us solve the puzzle. If anyone out there does do it regularly and would like to write about for the blog, please get in touch.
I far prefer the Indie on Saturday to the Listener crossword, and I complete them both equally often… about once every three weeks. One of the good things in the Indie is the picture puzzle on the inside back page, which is very funny. Also, it is in color, which looks really good.
