Daily mail skeleton crossword
A classic!
The Daily Mail Skeleton Crossword is a popular puzzle that has been published daily in the UK's Daily Mail newspaper since 1951. It's a cryptic crossword, which means that the clues are written in a clever and often humorous way, requiring solvers to think creatively to figure out the answers.
Here's how you can play along:
- Get a copy of the Daily Mail or access the puzzle online.
- Look at the grid, which is divided into squares. Some squares contain letters, while others are blank.
- Read the clues, which are listed below the grid. Each clue corresponds to a specific square or set of squares in the grid.
- Try to figure out the answer to each clue. You can use the letters in the grid to help you, but be careful not to fill in any squares until you're sure you have the correct answer.
- When you think you have the answer to a clue, fill in the corresponding squares in the grid.
- Keep solving until you've filled in the entire grid!
