How to solve Kropotkin, Tossman and other cryptic crosswords.
Favourite Kropotkin clue this week: 12 across, because the ‘X’ in the clue is so misleading!
Can someone please explain this clue?
12 Across? ‘Soon’ is ‘anon”, an archaic word. ‘X” is the symbol for multiplication, eg 4 X 3 = 12 (‘4 times 3 = 12’). So put TIMES in ANON to get the answer.
