Newbie at cryptic crosswords. Working through pack 2 at the moment. The complexity is the right amount for me. Challenging but not impossible to figure out. After a fashion.

A large selection of good entry-level cryptic puzzles. Great for the beginner or if you enjoy solving these puzzles quickly.

The puzzles are relatively easy (as far as I know- I'm only on level 7 of the first pack) and so far it's been a great way to learn cryptics
