With a Lovatts crossword there are no hidden tricks and no obscure words (unless you are tackling one of our tougher contests). All our crosswords are checked rigorously to make sure you can enjoy error-free puzzling. We have cryptic crosswords, arrowords, giant crosswords (such as the Colossus, MEGA and Maxi), themed crosswords, general knowledge crosswords and celebrity crosswords.SEARCH FOR TITLES CONTAINING CROSSWORDS
In these puzzles, numbers replace letters in a grid of ordinary English words. Puzzlers break a code to fill in the grid and reveal the celebrity or themed mystery answer. Lovatts Code Crackers and Starhunts don’t use tricks or obscure words, and clue hints have been carefully chosen to give puzzlers a fair start.SEARCH FOR TITLES CONTAINING CODE CRACKERS
