The Azed crossword is published weekly in The Observer newspaper, and is available online via a paid subscription to the GuardianUnlimited crossword service.
 

The Crossword Centre, run by Derek Harrison is the most active site for information about tough cryptic crosswords. It includes information on the puzzles and their setters, and has a popular message board. For Crossword Centre members Derek publishes a monthly prize puzzle. There is also a monthly clue-writing competition judged by the members.

The Crossword Centre contains a section devoted to Azed.

Solvers who are new the this type of puzzle may also find it helpful to read Dr Watson's reviews of each Azed competition puzzle, published shortly after the solution appears in The Observer (normally the fourth Sunday of the month).
 

There are blog-style accounts of various solvers' experiences with Azed's weekly non-competition puzzles at fifteensquared, usually published shortly after the puzzle's closing date.
 

I'm happy to include further links to Azed-related sites on this page. Please email me. As this is a specialist site devoted to the Azed competition, I don't intend publish general crossword-related links – please send these to Derek Harrison at the Crossword Centre.
