About the Guardian’s crosswords
The Guardian published its first cryptic crossword in 1929, with a prize for its completion of two guineas (£2.10), and our puzzles have appeared in print and then online ever since. Our team of world class crossword setters have always employed pen-names so that solvers can recognise their different styles. Past puzzle setters including Araucaria, Bunthorne and Custos helped develop the modern “Cryptic” while the daily “Quick” puzzle first appeared in the Guardian in 1970. Both have always enjoyed a reputation for being funnier and smarter than crosswords elsewhere. Our ““Quiptic”, “Speedy” and “Weekend” puzzles plus the “Everyman” crossword from the Observer with five games of sudoku of increasing difficulty can also be found in this app – with in total, more than 15,000 puzzles from the Guardian archive available to play.
