Kegler’s Kryptics
portrait by Dave Howard
Welcome to my cryptic crossword website! My name is Ron Sweet; I’m Kegler in the
National Puzzlers’ League (aka the NPL). I construct puzzles under both monikers.
On the first of each month, I present here one bar-style and one block-style cryptic crossword, written by me
and edited by my good friend Marilyn Castle.
Whenever possible, each puzzle is offered in both interactive
and printable formats, although occasionally a puzzle won’t lend itself to interactive solving.
A solution page is provided for each puzzle (linked at the bottom of the HTML and Java versions).
If you are unfamiliar with cryptic crosswords, Theresa Cunningham’s excellent
Guide to Solving Cryptic Crosswords helps explain how they work.
You might also want to try some of the Beginner Puzzles below.
The other two links lead to puzzles for more experienced solvers.
On November 9, 2007, I was a contestant on Merv Griffin’s Crosswords. For anyone interested,
