Description from the creator

This is a short video which teaches viewers how to tackle cryptic crosswords, covering clue structure, clue types and which newspapers to start on.

This video is based on my experience solving, but I mapped across my understanding of clue types to a number of websites to ensure completeness and accuracy. All clues in this video are my own (unless otherwise indicated) and largely built for the purpose of explaining a particular clue type.
