HOW IT’S DONE
The puzzle will already be familiar to crossword enthusiasts, although the British SOLUTION OF CROSSWORD NO. 38
style may be unusual as crossword grids vary in appearance from country to
country. Novices should note that the idea is to fill the white squares with letters
to make words determined by the sometimes cryptic clues to the right. The
numbers after each clue tell you how many letters are in the answer. All spellings
are UK English. Good luck!
