A wide variety of puzzles to complete…
I started doing these puzzles whilst in the 6th form at school, and very many years later I still enjoy receiving my book on a subscription. There's a wide variety of puzzles to complete during the month, so even if there is a type you don't enjoy there are plenty of others to do. Some are straightforward, others are definitely more challenging and make you think; some take a couple of minutes, others require a bit more time and thought!

I cannot wait for the Puzzler to arrive as I have usually finished the previous one within the month! I love the variety of puzzles, especially the logic ones and alphabeticals.

The puzzles are in the Collection are varied to suit all Puzzler needs and cater for all tastes. However I detect clue repetition in some of the crosswords!
The puzzles are in the Collection series are fine. Some I never do. Not enough Outsider or Cryptic ones.
My big criticism has to be your delivery.
I live in France and there are multiple problems with the post here since Brexit. In addition I gather that there have been problems with the UK post as well.
I waited ten weeks for issue 503!

Enjoyable puzzles.
Always enjoy the puzzles in the Puzzler. I have had a subscription for a few years now and it is great having it delivered instead of trying to remember if I have already got the one in the shops.

I have no complaints about the product but am astonished at how long my Puzzler takes to get to me. At the back of the magazine it tells you when the next issue comes out and sometimes I don´t get it and other times it takes from 4 to 6 weeks to get from Malmoe, Sweden or Bratislava to me in Spain. All in Europe and a normal letter from any EU countries never takes more than 5 days .

Thank you for your feedback. In regard to business mail, the standard delivery estimate for international deliveries is 4-6 weeks. Since the UK is not longer part of the EU, this is the reason mail from the UK to EU countries now has this delivery time.

Enjoying crosswordReally enjoying the crosswords
Really enjoying the crosswords. Having terrible difficulty reading the numers on the clues on the Saturday large puzzle. We both have very good eyesight but it is sometimes impossible to read the numbers - they are very faint
