Telegraph Cryptic Crossword

The Telegraph's Cryptic is one of Britain's best-known daily cryptic crosswords, published every day in the paper and in Telegraph Puzzles. Every clue has two parts: a definition of the answer, and wordplay that leads to it through anagrams, hidden words, sounds-like and other devices. Finding where one part ends and the other begins is the craft of solving.

In the app and on the web you fill the grid with the clues beside it, with check and reveal options, an archive of earlier puzzles, streaks and achievements. A free Mini Cryptic is offered every day for those who want a taste, and The Telegraph's hardest crossword, the Toughie, sits beside it.

The full Cryptic is part of the Telegraph Puzzles subscription. It suits experienced solvers and anyone learning cryptics, who can start with the Mini Cryptic and the Quick Crossword.
