Title Builder Beta See instructions

Welcome to Title Builder Beta.

This small piece of kit is designed to make building your Quiz, Crossword or Puzzle question more effective. It should make finding your question easier for others and, the easier it is to find, the more likely someone is to answer it!

To build an easy to find question title simply select the paper and quiz, enter the quiz number if relevant and fill in the Publication Date. Once you’re happy click “Build Title” and the information should populate the Title field. Fill in the final required details of your question as you normally would, and click submit.

As this is a Beta we only have a limited number of papers and quizzes listed. If you think your favourite Quiz, Crossword or Puzzle should be listed here don’t hesitate to contact us.

Remember: You do not have to use the title builder - simply enter the title and question as you normally would and click submit!

1) Bit of smoke's back in top piece of lab kit (8) T?S?T?B? It's obviously TESTTUBE but, whilst I get TTUB = "bit of smoke's back", why/how does TESE= "top"?

2) What may pick up fool with no work, feeling pressure to return (12) ?E?S?R?S?O?N. Again, it's obviously DESSERTSPOON, but is this a (rare) typo for The Times (FOOL instead of FOOD) or am I missing something?

3) Generous with funds ultimately invested in refuge, perhaps (8) H?N?S?M?. Obviously HANDSOME (= Generous), but I don't get the wordplay. If HOME = refuge, perhaps and S = funds ultimately, is AND supposed to be a synonym for with?
