Page "Cryptic crossword" Paragraph 4

Cryptic crosswords do not commonly appear in U. S. publications, although they can be found in magazines such as GAMES Magazine, The Nation, Harper's, and occasionally in the Sunday New York Times.

The New York Post reprints cryptic crosswords from The Times, which, like the Post, is owned by News Corporation.

Other sources of cryptic crosswords in the U. S. ( at various difficulty levels ) are puzzle books, as well as UK and Canadian newspapers distributed in the U. S. Other venues include the Enigma, the magazine of the National Puzzlers ' League, and formerly, The Atlantic Monthly.

The latter puzzle, after a long and distinguished run, appeared solely on The Atlantics website for several years, and ended with the October 2009 issue.

A similar puzzle by the same authors now appears monthly in The Wall Street Journal.
