A forum for solvers of cryptic crossword puzzles published in the National Post

Friday, April 18, 2014 — Good Friday
Introduction
It being Good Friday, the National Post did not publish an edition today. Contrary to past practice, there is no 'Friday Diversions' page in either the Thursday, April 17 or Saturday, April 19 edition of the paper. Furthermore, the National Post will not publish on Monday and no 'Monday Diversions' page has been provided.
I would like to wish all readers a Happy Easter weekend.
Signing off for today — Falcon

Cryptic crosswords is a pastime I took up following retirement from a career as a telecommunications engineer. As an avid solver of regular crossword puzzles, I had long been intrigued by the cryptic crosswords that appeared beside them in the newspaper. However, occasional forays into this area produced very meager results - perhaps solutions to one or two clues.
Following retirement, I finally had time to research the principles and conventions used in cryptic crosswords. Soon, I was able to solve a goodly portion of most puzzles - although I might not have always understood all the wordplay. And - to me - understanding the wordplay is just as important as finding the solution.
I hope this blog can be a forum where those of us who enjoy solving cryptic crossword puzzles can share our thoughts and experience to our mutual benefit.
