More to these "simple" puzzles than meets the eye
In a country where the famous crosswords are cryptic ones, "plain definition" puzzles tend to be overlooked, and solvers tend to think that they're dashed off by the setters as bits of hack work. The fact that people like me brag about solving many of them in under 2 minutes doesn't help. But even expert cryptic solvers can learn a few things by solving T2 puzzles.

John Grimshaw, who writes all of these puzzles, takes trouble to make his clues fair, and often includes subtle things in the grid which you may or may not be able to spot. Look at things like pairs of answers in the same row or column, rows or columns of unchecked letters, or patterns made by the positions of letters in the grid - you might see the As making a big letter A for example. Or your challenge may be to sort out the right set of answers to identical clues for five different words.
