Step by step, you will unravel the mysteries of cryptic clues. Drawing heavily on the work of David Astle – the dreaded DA of the Friday Age – Kelly will explain over a dozen different types of cryptic clues, how to identify them, and the strategies for solving them. Learn why cryptic clues are more precise than clues for conventional crosswords. Examples will largely be taken from The Age, but there will also be representatives of other cryptic cruciverbalists.
