Sir, – For as long as I can remember, your crosswords have been an institution in our house. My parents would battle it out against each other – a race to complete, with challenges over the validity of answers. Simply put, the day couldn’t start without a look at the crossword.

When my father passed away before Covid, my mother continued the routine. Sadly, my mother recently passed away, and I wanted to thank you and the team for endless hours of entertainment, competition and joy you’ve provided my parents over the years. – Yours, etc,
BRYAN CONWAY,
