Chat Arrowords

A light and colourful magazine dedicated to arrowords.

Each of the puzzles (there are over 70) is designed to be solved in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, so you will have to take plenty of breaks. They'll make you think, but you don't have to be a genius to solve these arrowords, and they're interesting enough to keep your grey matter ticking over.

Many of the puzzles contain extra elements that make solving more enjoyable. For example, when you have solved a puzzle, you might be asked to unravel an anagram made up of some of the answer letters that will enable you to identify a celebrity silhouette. Quite a few of the puzzles are arranged in linked pairs, each containing answers on a common theme. Pictures of celebrities and TV personalities are incorporated in some puzzles, with related words to be found.

There are four competitions in each issue. Two offer cash prizes (one to win £200, the other to win £100). The other competitions usually include one that gives you the chance to win a trendy piece of electronic kit, such as a DAB radio, an iPod, or a digital TV.

A distinguishing feature of the magazine is the use of complementary pastel colours that makes it, in our view, one of the most appealing titles that we publish.
