I've discovered the few clues that have come naturally to me in the past are the anagrams and the hiddens. In fact it might take me a lifetime to crack one or two so maybe that 's a good target to set! I haven't been completely converted to the Cryptic by David Astle's book, however it's certainly made me think about words in a whole different way and I'd definitely be willing to tackle at least one or two. Before reading this book, my experience with Cryptic Crosswords was to every-so-often glance at the Cryptic in the newspaper, sometimes have one or two answers jump out at me, but be totally flummoxed by the rest, and to retreat to the safety of the Jumble, the Target or the "normal" crossword.
