Sir, — Since your newspaper’s revamp, I have not completed a Simplex crossword, whereas previously, it rarely presented a challenge. My shame and lack of self-worth are such, that if this situation continues, I may be forced to seek solace in the arms of Crosaire. Please put me out of my misery and confirm my suspicion that it is more difficult than previously. Then, I shall no longer be 2 down. — Yours, etc,
