How To Use A Computer To Solve The Listener Crossword
🕑 Added 2023-03-07 10:41:14 +0000 UTCSimon has a go at at Listener crossword from last year called Late Arrival by Aragon. The Listener is the hardest crossword published anywhere in the World by a mainstream publication and it's being going now for nearly 100 years. It comes out every Friday evening on the The Times crossword club website (which is behind their paywall) and is also available in the Saturday print edition of The Times.
If you have some experience of solving any cryptics then it IS possible to solve The Listener - especially if you use computer aids during the solve. Simon shows you how in this (long!) video.
You can see this particular puzzle using a version we've created in our software here:
