JA May 04

Well, intrepid wordsmiths, it’s been all of two months and my how we have struggled, pencils in hand, with that deceptively simple white grid and those cunning, canny clues. But no more – David Astle, whose mind is no doubt as shifty and colourful as the side of the Rubik’s Cube, has kindly provided the answers to his crossword challenge.

The competition is now closed and we will be announcing the winner in the coming weeks.

Find out just how right, or wrong, you were below.
