There are several people on here who get the answer and type it in, often with an explanation, before I have even read the clue! I have a little question. Are you all brilliant or do any of you do the crosswords early in the morning and sit and wait for someone to ask?

And I have it on good authority that they go on regular speed-typing courses to keep up to, er, speed.

The latter, if the question relates to a Telegraph puzzle, otherwise I have a go at working it out from the clues given.

I see!
Usually buy the Sunday Times early...can sometimes see how a particular setter's mind works (unless it's Dean Meyer)....sometimes the same clues come round again
they all have crib sheets pinned up in front of them, grass, cept me, of course. ;)
I read the clue the poster has provided and try and work it out. I only buy the times on a saturday, and thats just for the cryptic crossword (which takes me days to solve!) Same as you, grasscarp - By the time i've hit submit, many others have answered the questions in much better detail than me!

Thank you for informative and funny replies. There are several ABers I am completely in awe of. As soon as I see they are "on duty" I usually dont bother to even look at the question!
