For Blaugust this year I decided to publish a series of cryptic crossword posts.
I'm aiming for one a day.
Many of our friends over the years have said that cryptic crosswords don't make sense. They certainly do play with your mind, and that is why I take delight in them. I love the surprising discovery inside a puzzle and the challenge of twisting the usual thought patterns and making them do something different.
So here is today's offering...
Knowing your Roman numbers will put you in a good position for solving crosswords too.
I =1
V=5
X=10
L=50
C=100
D=500
M=1000
Given the subject of this post you have a clue as to this answer
Story at last included in the thousandth tall story (4) The Advertiser July 7th 2016
Story at last is y (the last letter of story)
It's the other bit that gave us a laugh though. Thousand is M, so thousandth is Mth!
Put a "y" in "mth" and you get a myth (a story)
