Finally -- please don't miss the Zen crossword.

I'm still waiting on the (self-described) world's hardest to arrive.

That is amazing scartol - thanks!

Just the Times will do nicely, thanks.

Zen crossword -- more difficult than it looks.

This is great -- I'm swiping it immediately.

I'm looking at the horror crossword, which, damn it, is a cryptic. Even when I know the answer to clues, I'm having a harder time working backwards to understand the rest of the hint than I would solving a clue to a "normal" puzzle.

I need training wheels for these things.

I need training wheels for these things.


You do need some initiation into the logic of cryptics, and you also need to be familiar with a certain number of acronyms and markers. So don't feel shitty, you're essentially learning a semi-private code. When, however, you crack it, you will never bother doing a quick again.
/could be wrong, it's not for everybody

Need an answer? Email me, and I'll have a go.

Thanks, Wolof, I may take you up on your hint service. Am solving it one. damned. clue. at. a. time.

Please feel most free to call again, I enjoy this sort of thing. Although those last two clues were pigshit difficult.

Now this [scroll to bottom of page] is a crossword. Good thing that somebody's solved it already.

Hey goetter, did you ever get the world's hardest?

I haven't. And I've been waiting for a couple of months, now. Hmmm.
