'No compiler has given more pleasure to more people'

(Hugh Stephenson, The Guardian )

'The most infuriatingly ingenious setter working today'

(Ian Rankin )


Product Description

Araucaria has been delighting and confounding cryptic crossword fans for almost 50 years. Now solvers can pit their wits against the master with 60 never-before-published jigsaw crosswords. Jigsaw crosswords are Araucaria’s own invention and are challenging cryptic crosswords where you first have to solve the clues and then fit the solutions into the grid (without the help of numbers).

5.0 out of 5 stars Awful, 4 Jan 2009
By C. Gent "Cogent1" (Cardiff UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These puzzles are awful mental torture, made worse by the tantalizing fact that the pain can be relieved by sneaking a look at the solutions, AKA cheating. Clues are not numbered: the answers have to be fitted jigsaw-wise in the grid by deduction. The earlier grids have a few letters pre-filled in to ward off utter despair. Later ones have letters around the periphery, but you have to solve elaborate cryptic clues to get them. The grid clues themselves never cease to amaze me with their ingenuity and originality. However, if you're a beginner, forget it! These puzzles are for mighty intellects like what I have got.
