These brain-fizzing sessions inform how to unlock those fiendish cryptic clues whilst improving memory, vocabulary and general knowledge.

There are a dozen different types of clues which we study on a rolling programme.

We enjoy that 'Eureka!' moment when we solve a difficult clue and can marvel at the setter's ingenuity!

We complete one or two crosswords at each session and occasionally finish with a short quiz.
