Hex Cryptic Crossword — NP 220122 (Cox and Rathvon)


Note to Readers
Following an announcement two weeks ago that due to copyright concerns the blog would no longer post a copy of the Cox and Rathvon puzzle, Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon (the setters of the puzzle) reached out to the blog indicating that they do not object to the blog posting a copy of the puzzle to which they own the copyright. Out of respect to the interests of the National Post, we have mutually agreed that the blog will delay posting a copy of the puzzle until one week following its appearance in the National Post. You can read more about this decision and the events leading up to it at An Exciting New Development. I am sure the hundreds of Hex fans who visit the blog every week join me in extending our sincere appreciation to Emily and Henry for their gracious gesture in allowing the puzzle to continue to be posted on this blog.

  1. Looks good Falcon!
    Now, I am going to suggest this next idea, knowing it may be a lot of work for you-
    How about the solutions page hides the solutions unless you press on the answer block to avoid seeing the answer accidentally when all you are trying to do is get a printed version?

    1. Henry,

      That would likely have been been worthwhile feature when the puzzle appeared in the same post as the solution. However, now that puzzle and solution appear in separate posts, I don't believe it should be necessary.
