Puzzler Arrowords

A magazine that is dedicated entirely to arrowords.

There are 60 arrowords, but among these are several variations on the classic 'clues in the grid' puzzle. Some offer an extra challenge. For example, when the solutions have been entered, the letters that fall in certain shaded squares in a puzzle may form an anagram; such anagrams may provide a link between two puzzles. Alternatively, there may be a quiz element based on, for example, a star's career. There is a strong TV and celebrity element throughout, and many puzzles are complemented by pictures of personalities. Most clues are of an easy-to-medium difficulty, based on word definitions or general knowledge. Some are a little trickier, but there are no deep or cryptic clues.

There is a competition in every issue with a top prize of £2,500 cash, plus other cash prizes for runners-up, making a grand total of £5,000.
