Love crosswords, love reading

I love reading when not doing crosswords. When I was young I loved the Katie books, Chalet School books and Black Beauty (pity my daughters and grandchildren never read them). Now I like books by Barbara Taylor Bradford, Danielle Steel, Patricia Scanlan, Cathy Kelly and Sheila O’Flanagan and any family sagas.

I thought the original BIGCash crossword was much easier to do than the current ones. I love all your crosswords and enjoy doing them. May you continue to do them for a very long time.

Margaret’s Mega poem

A Mega now! How can it be?
Another crossword, just for me.
Oh yes! I stop, and solve a clue,
With heaps of washing still to do.
My weeds all laugh, and win the race
To fill my vegetables place
But yet! Fear not, the chores will stay
I’ll leave them for another day.

New on the Net and love it

I have only been on the net a short time and love it. It is so convenient. I love your new website so easy to understand and negotiate. I have been doing your puzzles for a lot of years now and won a wordygig once which was a thrill, it doesn’t matter to me if I win but I get frustrated if I can’t finish a puzzle.

I believe your puzzles keep my brain active and free from the dreaded dementia. Thank you and keep up the good work

Unusual words list helps with Mega Stinker

Congratulations on the launch of Mega.

Over the years I have compiled a ‘dictionary’ of unusual words and they are now in a tabbed folder divided into 3 letter words, 4 letter words etc up to 12 letter words and two further sections for ‘People’ and ‘Places’ each section in alphabetical order.

This is invaluable and grows steadily – particularly after the MEGA STINKER although of course I await publication of the answers to confirm mine before inserting them.

Thank you for many years of Lovatts; I am sure MEGA will take off successfully.

Lucky streak

I can’t believe my luck. A World atlas in January (for which I have already thanked you), and now a cheque for £50 for a win on the Baffler. Prizes certainly add to the joy of completing the difficult crosswords.

My thanks to you and all at Lovatts.

Best wishes

A question of colour

Good Morning
I have just received my Christine’s BIG crossword book for May 2009 and whilst doing the Diamond crossword I found the clue (violet antiseptic). Your answer was “iodine”. Well iodine is Yellow/Brown. The violet antiseptic is (or was when I was a child, a long time ago) Condy’s Crystal. It has a violet colour.

Would love to hear where you got your answer.
