## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A work of genius
  

*by T***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2023*

I have labored unsuccessfully for years trying to solve even the simplest cryptic crossword. I have consulted most of the standard references for solving cryptics: The Chambers Crossword Manual,  the Daily Telegraph's book on cryptics and BJ Holmes' Solving Cryptic Crosswords to name a few-  all are *excellent* works and I suspect that I am the anomaly, but even those eminent references were unable to help me puzzle out even the simplest answers. I received Mr. Howarth's book for my birthday and am pleased to announce that I am now tearing up charades- a cluing mechanism common to cryptics that was the equivalent of looking for the painting of a polar bear on a white wall for me.  Mr. Howarth's book (as noted in other reviews) is more of a course, rather than an exposition- quite right and for me, invaluable.  The subject matter is laid out sequentially and in increasing complexity. Lots of practice problems and most important, some thoughts on how cryptics are composed and how to "back engineer" a possible solution.  I can say that there was no more incompetent solver of cryptics than I was- until Mr. Howarth's tutelage.  Now I have maybe 2 or 3 people below me. Ha!  If Prime's showing of BBC's incomparable series Endeavour has inspired you to give cryptic crosswords a go, you could do no better than buying this book.  I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Thank you Mr. H!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
