I’ll give that a go once I’ve finished, the ‘How to Master the Times Crossword”.

Still I wanted just to leave a comment on how much I enjoyed this site.

I know from experience that it’s hard to get started with cryptics. Can I suggest a possible method to get you going the next time you’re totally stuck?
1. Use this site to fill in the answers to the across clues only and make sure that you understand all the wordplay for these, but do not look at the hints for the down clues.
2. Now attempt the down clues on your own. You should make more progress, because a lot of the checking letters will now be filled in.
3. If you still cannot complete it, use the site to understand the missing answers (and to check that you had understood the wordplay on those you did complete).
Good luck!

Unfortunately I can’t get them on my own.

Thanks again.
