Pegleg has been busy this year, checking other setters’ puzzles!
AND!!!! She has won the much coveted cryptic crossword Solver of The Year Award! Pegleg, Andie Johnson, lives in Idaho, USA, and wasn’t able to collect her award, so the family, Jane B-B, her sister Leigh, and their mum Joyce, went to collect it for her on May 23rd. It was a wonderful occasion of food, puzzles, speeches and the most welcoming group of setters and associated geniuses!
