Christine's Hello
Colossus 255 Hello
Sometimes a word comes your way which makes you realise that there’s a whole different world of activity out there that you never dreamed of. One advantage of solving crosswords that you may have discovered is expanding your vocabulary. I know many of you keep a notebook of new words you come across, so that you can remember them next time they appear in a crossword.

So you can imagine how grateful I was to have my copy of BIG with me. It kept me fully occupied... [Read more or comment]
