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.
Flowers have messed us around more times than is fair over our crossword solving years
Always remember that flowers might be floral or watery (rivers)
Rivers flow, therefore they are flowers.
As soon as you see that word, stop and think.
It can be the same with ranges
(These can be the distance between,or the mountains)
If it is the river or mountain range you are looking for, then I hope that your geography is better than mine.
These are just one more trap that the setter will try to trip you up with.
Keep
