The Times Crossword Masterclass: 14 March 2025

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
A stunning cryptic crossword today from ‪@TheTimes‬ with one of my favourite clues of recent times (the Fleet Street one!). Here we try and explain how to solve it :)

I am told (thanks Mike) that this puzzle is by none other than Richard Rogan, who was the editor of The Times crossword until he recently passed away unexpectedly and long before his time. Ave atque vale my friend.

(If you do enjoy these crossword videos, please do try and leave a "like" or "subscribe"; we would really appreciate it and hopefully other people who get recommended the video will come to love these puzzles as much as we all do.)

The puzzle is available to play on The Times crossword club website (which is behind their paywall):

Simon & Mark will be doing a live edition of the crossword Masterclass at this conference in March:
