Just seen a post re Chambers Word Wizard - hadn't seen it before, looks like a jolly useful program.

It reminded me, I bought Crossword Maestro ages ago, and stopped using it because it was too good! It solves Times & Guardian cryptic clues half the time, and has a word search with wild cards too. You can actually put the whole crossword into it, and it solves quite a lot without human intervention.

I've got it working with Windows 7, but don't intend to use it.

If anyone wants to send me a sample clue with the word length and any letters you have, I'd be happy to run it and post the results.

Another good utility is the full OED online - In Manchester, I can access it at home with my library ticket number.

There are various free online crossword solvers e.g. http://www.onelook.com/ and http://crossword-solver.utsire.com/ ; the latter site also has a good anagram solver http://anagram-solver.net/ .

Thanks Bibblebub.

I'll try those sites and CM with a couple of Grauniad ot Times Cryptic, and see how they tackle them. If you want to give me a clue to try, I'll check back in a bit...

Thanks for the offer but I can solve crosswords without needing someone else to do it for me.
