Clever Clues and Anagrams contains 100 new cryptic crossword together with solutions. Each of the puzzles comprises a 15 x 15 grid with clues of a standard familiar to those who complete the UK Daily Telegraph crosswords. Cryptic Crosswords are only concerned with rows about burial arrangements in the twisted minds of clue writers! But alternative word meanings such as these allow puzzle-setters to devise clues with a surface meaning which appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the actual solution. Fortunately, the English language is full of words with double meanings that can be used to put solvers off the scent in a deliberately deceptive, and often comical, manner. Anagrams provide further opportunities for confusion and deception so that the fattish charmer’s rearrangement in the puzzle on the front cover can initially hide the appearance of Father Christmas.

This collection of 100 cryptic puzzles will provide crossword sleuths with ample opportunity to detect and decipher complex anagrams while correctly interpreting the most devious of double meanings.
