I’m going to start with the devil’s advocate point of view and quote Jonathan Crowther (the Azed setter at the Observer) in his A-Z of crosswords: “in my experience the ability to solve crosswords comes from practice rather than from diligent application to ‘how-to’ books, though these clearly have their place”. It’s possibly a bit dry as there are no tutorial puzzles, and quite old now – but I’m sure it could teach a beginner quite a lot.From white witchcraft and secret symbols to rituals and runes, the enigmas in these pages will take you on an expedition through the mystical world.
