Times Jumbo Crossword 1517
6 Answers
I photocopied the grid for jumbo 1517 so I could do both crosswords, but left the original paper in the photocopier, so now I have two grids and no clues for the cryptic and only a few clues for the concise, does anyone know where I can access the clues on line, thanks
