Widdersbel

Regular blogger for the FT Sunday News and World puzzles. I've been interested in all kinds of puzzles from an early age but didn't become a regular cryptic crossword solver until the early 2000s, when the Guardian cryptic was a way to help pass the long daily train commute. In 2008, searching the internet for assistance with a tricky puzzle, I came across fifteensquared. Learnt a lot from the blogs over the following years and eventually became a competent solver. Joined the blogging crew in 2023 - also made my debut the same year as a setter in the Indy under the alias Salty.
