Welcome to CCCWC hosted by & lit.

You love solving Cryptic Crosswords … now test your Clue-Writing skills!
 

Congratulations to Dennis Borris and R.E.Boot, winners of the 2009 Annual Prize Draw. We were fortunate to be able to offer two prizes, and one ‘e-ticket’ was drawn at random from the clue-writers and one from the voters. The annual draw will be repeated in 2010 – the more times you enter and vote, the better your chances. See the Annual Results page for the 2009 results, now with added statistics.

Bradfords dictionary prize CCCWC is the monthly cryptic crossword clue-writing competition open to all members of The Crossword Centre (crossword.org.uk) mailing list.
 

It’s free to enter, and there’s a prize, donated by Collins, for the clue voted best each month.
 

There’s more help and information at the About CCCWC link on the left.
