My favourite Christmas present I received cost just £4.60. It was the latest Puzzler – a bumper crop of mostly word-based quizzes that you pick up at the checkout, in your local supermarket.
(Yup, I’m officially old now.)
This is only my second ever copy – we’ve been working our way through the first, very slowly indeed, for the past year! But my wife noticed I’d completed most of it (aside from the weird stuff), and thought it would be a nice touch to get me another, as a surprise.

I’m fascinated by crosswords.
Not the cryptic ones—those can get in the sea—but your bog standard, here’s-two-ways-of-saying-the-same-thing type crosswords.
Some clues come easy. Some are impossible (words, or terms I’ve never heard of) and then there are those in the middle.
You know the ones, where you think you should know, but there and then, you can’t figure it out. They might feel like they’re on the tip of your tongue, or, conversely, you might have no idea.
