How it’s done: The puzzle already,

will be familiar to crossword enthusiasts

although the British style may be unusual

as crossword grids vary in appearance from

country to country. Novices should note

that the idea is to fill the white squares with

letters to make words determined by the

sometimes cryptic clues to the right. The

numbers after each clue tell you how many

letters are in the answer. All spellings are

UK English. Good luck!
