Check out cryptic crosswords I've constructed [here](https://joeadultman.blogspot.com), and let me know what you think!

What's a cryptic crossword, anyway? In short, they're crossword puzzles that give you a little bit of wordplay with every clue (along with a regular definition)! I made some very small (7x7), single-clue-type cryptics to introduce brand-new folks [here](https://joeadultman.blogspot.com/search/label/Cryptics101), complete with instructions to get you started! There is also an excellent comprehensive guide to cryptics [here](https://elderism.co.uk/guide/rules/#intro), written by [elderism](http://twitch.tv/elderism)!
