Charlie Methven

I've been setting cryptic crosswords since 2019. I've been Chameleon in 1 Across magazine, the Guardian Genius slot, and my self-published puzzles, many of which are available on MyCrossword.

From 2021 to 2026 I was Methuselah in the Independent.

The 3D crossword puzzles on this page were inspired by the fantastic 3D Crossword Calendar project. As well as across and down, clues can go 'away', and just for good measure they can also go in reverse in each of those directions (so 'back', 'up' and 'towards'). Many thanks to Viresh Ratnakar for adding support for constructing 3D crosswords at Exet. Find out how to create a 3D crossword with Exet here.
