I saw your “Beauty of Maths” article on the inside of the front cover of the December Super Sudoku.
I have received a similar version of this with an extra part, which, as a Maths teacher, I really liked.
It says that if A=1%, B=2%, etc., then HARD WORK = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98% and KNOWLEDGE=11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96% but [more…]
MAXI MAXI MAXI, just thought I would let you know how much I really enjoy your Cluewords editions. Would love to see either more of the Maxi’s or maybe even a whole book dedicated to the MAX..
Love your puzzles

Thank you so much for the wonderful surprise of 2 Cryptic Puzzle books that landed on my doorstep yesterday.
I have been doing your puzzles for years and last year my partner taught me how to do cryptics, and they have quickly become my favourite puzzles.
I spend an hour nearly every morning doing your puzzles [more…]
Thank you very much for the biggest prize I have won from lovatts, it’s wonderful. From Colossus, I won a stainless steel Breville Cafe Roma espresso/cappuccino machine.
I enjoy doing my favourite crosswords, Baffler and Cryptic, something to get your brain matter exercising. As a senior, I have bought Lovatts for years, and can’t wait [more…]

I use the small editions too, but mainly the large editions are my preference. I am your best customer. Thank you for producing [more…]
Regarding books one likes to read, in my late teens Mary Webb’s Gone to Earth was my favourite. I shed tears over it. Her other books were lovely also, and I read all Georgette Heyer’s Georgian and Reginey romances.
In later years, I was enthralled by Dorothy Dennett’s Crawford of Lymond (a Scottish saga) and [more…]
The Baffler is bafflier,
The Stinker’s demonic.
Our searches are deeper,
We need a MNEMONIC.
El Camino’s trail REAL
We found was quite royal.
We love being baffled.
To Lovatts we’re loyal!
If your sand sea’s an ERG,
Then you’re in the SAHARA.
If your tree seeds are wingèd,
It’s M for SAMARA.
FIACRE? A French word
For an old-fashioned coach.
Don’t GYBE in your yacht
If you don’t [more…]
The weather becomes mighty cold down here,
Normal for this time of year,
When I need a ‘cheerer-uppa’,
My first instinct is to make a ‘cuppa’,
So to win a Bodum mug and teapot,
Which keep my beverage piping hot,
Is a definite plus – they look good too,
And when I settle down to do,
A Lovatts puzzle – or maybe [more…]
