Crossword editor’s desk: the Guardian’s 30,000th cryptic
Back
As we approach a milestone in Guardian setting, here are some treats from the archive
The Guardian is approaching its millionth cryptic clue. There is, of course, no overall database that will let us know when the millionth appears but we can infer the number from a milestone that comes this week.
On Thursday, it will be Guardian Cryptic crossword No 30,000. We started work in January 1929: first weekly, then twice a week and soon daily, alongside quicks, quick cryptics, quiptics, Geniuses and all the rest of it.
