Highscool Cryptic Crosswords
In highschool, I did a stint of writing cryptic crosswords. It was a joy to do, though believe they ended up getting solved by a librarian or two (at most).
I wrote a somewhat incomplete guide to solving cryptic crosswords1 to help people learn the basics, then published the following four cryptics:
- Something You Should Have Read
- The Spanish Inquisition
- A Holiday Within a Holiday
- Guardian Angels and Elder Scrolls
This is worth a read, if only for the fact I created my own type of clue signalled by "I guess"↩
