Christmas Puzzle 2023

Niven's Memoirs

This year marks the 33rd annual Christmas Puzzle I have set to raise money for charities. The Puzzle receives entries from Australia, New Zealand, Cyprus, Malta and Ireland plus a team entry from France and Sweden for whom the Puzzle is in their second language. The Puzzle should appeal to people who enjoy solving quality newspaper crossword puzzles and this one is designed to help you finish - the Puzzle has an underlying theme so that, when things start to get a bit tough, you should get more information to help you. Over the years the Puzzle has raised almost £127,000 for various good causes, including £7,500 last year.
