Cracking The Cryptic
The Biggest Sudoku Channel On YouTube.
Two videos every day (8.30pm & 11pm UK time)
Hosts (Simon Anthony & Mark Goodliffe) attempt to solve a world-class puzzle live in each of these videos.
Mark Goodliffe (14 times winner of The Times Crossword Championship) and Simon Anthony (former record holder for consecutive Listener Crossword solves) have represented the UK in the World Puzzle and World Sudoku Championships on numerous occasions. Each week there will be something for everyone from beginner through expert!
Don't be surprised if, from time to time, the videos include other puzzle types too (eg Japanese pencil puzzles, puzzle hunts etc)!
