About the Telegraph Quick Crossword

The Telegraph Quick Crossword is The Telegraph's daily non-cryptic puzzle — launched in 1937 as a gentler companion to the paper that published Britain's first daily newspaper crossword on 30 July 1925. Clues are straight definitions, synonyms and general knowledge on a typically 13×13 British-style grid (more black squares than a US daily), with no cryptic wordplay. This page covers a Tuesday puzzle. Fill follows British spelling, so COLOUR and CENTRE are normal; confirming one mid-length answer usually opens the crossings around it.
