Where in the Guardian is the Genius puzzle? I think I have asked this question once before and forgotten the answer. Is it a monthly puzzle on the first Monday?

[genius55]

yes it�s monthly puzzle on first monday of month and each month is very different.
there�s no point in typing in the clues cos you need to see the crossowrd to get the idea.

[Argee]

Is it just available on-line? I have searched the paper (rescued from the salvage bag) and cannot find it. In fact, I have been a Grauniad reader for years and have never seen it.

i thought it was available in the paper but I�m not sure about that.
It�s certainly available on line. I�m in Spain so its very handy getting all the crosswords on line.

It is not in the Guardian newspaper. It is only available on line on the Guardian Website with an annual subscription of �25.

The Genius crossword is either do-able or downright difficult. This month it looks like the latter so I'm afraid I cannot help with the theme.

Thanks, Snoozy. No wonder I could never find it. I buy the Guardian every day so I am not paying �25 to get the crosswords on line. Maybe if I can retire to Spain I might do!!

Don't know if you're still looking for an answer, but I reckon it's Shakespeare characters and "bottom line"
