Bridge Crosswords by Merman: Bridge Crosswords: Cryptic Crosswords for Puzzle People (Series #1) (Paperback)

The 100 cryptic crosswords for puzzle people in this book range from the relatively straightforward to the toe-curlingly sophisticated.

The straightforward ones are formatted in the style of Ximenes (The Observer) and Mephisto (The Sunday Times), mostly in a handy 10x10 size.

Towards the end the challenges, like grandmother's arthritic knees, become bigger and stiffer.

After the puzzles, solutions are given, with helpful explanations.

And there are incidental entertainments to provide welcome distractions.
