Introduction

After doing traditional American-style crosswords (particularly the New York Times) for about three decades, I took a stab at a UK cryptic crossword a few years ago. At first, I was flummoxed. But once I figured out what was going on (many thanks to the helpful bloggers at www.fifteensquared.net), I was hooked. Recently, I've tried my hand at setting cryptic crosswords. Here is some of my work. Feedback is welcome. (Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings.)
