CROSSWORDS
Sir-I read F. K. Tucker’s letter about the crossword puzzle, and did not agree with him. I am a person of average intelligence with a fair knowledge of literature and "R.W.H." invariably gives me much pleasure. When I open The Listener I look first at the headings of your editorial and the letters;, then I work at the crossword puzzle. Perhaps occasionally the clues are rather easy, but usually they strike a happy medium and show an agreeable sense of humour. I do not want clues that keep me worrying for a long time and end in frustration. There is always the Differential Calculus, It might be better to give "the book in which a Milton line occurs, but I have not yet been stuck. Lately I read a clue from The Scotsman for the line "That so bedeck’d and gay." It was Milton only. May "R.W.H.". long continue, and’ will she in the meantime accept. my thanks,
MIDDLEBROW
