Minute Cryptic is a daily single-question cryptic crossword, with a hint system and an explanation (Youtube video - it appears the channel came before the website).

Definitely worth checking out if you have any interest in cryptic crosswords, which are funnier and more interesting (imho) than standard crosswords.

Always nice when people actually explain cryptics - I think too many people still see it as a bit of a "Well I'm cleverer than thee" thing, when there's actually a fair bit of structure and looking-stuff-up to it really. (A bit like coding, I guess...)
