Cracking Cryptics

Tony Long has been solving #crypticcrosswords for well over 60 years and has also been compiling them for half that time.
He has developed a fascinating illustrated talk that explains the mysteries of these #puzzles and gives his three golden rules, going through the ten different types of clue that will be encountered, from anagrams to synonyms. He starts with the history of the cryptic crossword and ends with helpful tips on ways to solve them.
Along the way, there are dozens of examples of clues and how they can be solved. Cracking Cryptics is a must for all #crossword fans – from the novice to the aficionado - or simply for those who want to find out what the fuss is all about.
