Put your feet up and escape from it all with The Chambers Book of Quick Crosswords featuring 100 puzzles to test your general knowledge.
The puzzles occupy the “challenging”, mid-range territory, striking a balance between the accessible and the unattainable. Each includes a handful of clues from both ends of the spectrum: relatively easy ones, allowing solvers a way in, and toughies, that stretch the cerebral powers much more.
You will find a mix of music, flora and fauna, TV, cinema, geography, literature, the Classics and sport; orthodox general knowledge to help you extract maximum enjoyment and satisfaction from every 15 x 15 word square. Entertaining, fun and challenging enough to tax even the most seasoned crossword aficionado, you’ll need quick wits to go head-to-head with Chambers.
- Chambers is used by all the key crossword setters, including Azed, Araucaria and Bradman
- 100 crosswords previously only available online
- Set by setters whose work appears in The Guardian, Private Eye, The Independent, The FT and The Telegraph

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
