Puzzler Crossword

Puzzler Crossword is a compact, conveniently sized magazine that will appeal to all crossword enthusiasts, especially those who appreciate a refreshing departure from an emphasis on celebrity-related clues.

While two-thirds of the 53 puzzles are crosswords with straightforward clues, the following puzzles also appear: skeleton crossword, cryptic crossword, general knowledge crossword, all in one crossword, pieceword, continuity, missing links, codeword, arroword and sudoku.

And for those solvers keen to enhance their vocabulary, a fascinating selection of unusual words, both old and new, is included within various puzzles, accompanied by an explanation from the editor. All puzzles are graded according to their level of difficulty.

Puzzler Crossword occasionally runs seasonal competitions.

The magazine has a sensible, clear layout, with a pleasant pastel colour scheme.
