The Guardian has one on Saturdays.
Don't know about the Independent though.

thanx shaneystar.

Have you ever won any crosswords?

Several years ago I had a couple of prizes �100 and �200 from a My Weekly Puzzle book.
I've won a few things with Lovatts,a dictionary and Marks and Sparks vouchers.I think it's pot luck.I have been sending in the Telegraph cryptic on a Saturday for years and have never won anything!
Saturday's Indy has one of the UK's best crosswords - in the magazine. Have won the champagne several times...

I think there's also a regular cryptic in the main paper but I don't bother with those.

thanx shaneystar & quizmonkey.I think I'll drop the saturday telegraph and try the guardian and independent crosswords. The general knowledge crossword is quite hard and time consuming.

The guardian also has a monthly prize xword called the genius which is somewhat devilish. Its out first Monday in the month. 

I have done the Observer for years and decided to purchase on line (either �25 or �30) and now get the Guardian & Observer 7 days a week - I do not need to buy the newspapers but do have to buy a stamp as it is not yet submittable online (they are working on it).  I am still quids in.  I have won the Observer twice, dictionaries or book tokens) the times once (book token)  (but the devilishly hard club special (on-line only) �100 once.  The Scotsman 4 times (gold cross pens)and Scotland on Sunday 3 times. (dictionaries or books)  I keep winning dictionaries!
