Sir, – Just when I was getting used to Crossheir’s fiendishly intricate modus operandi, he departs the scene and leaves Crosaire to Dominic and to Le Corsaire. I wish the new cruciverbalists well; they’ve big shoes to fill! – Yours, etc,

Sir, – The Irish Times – hard copy, of course – carefully folded to the crossword, fine-pointed pen and a cup of coffee. Nothing quite like it. Thanks, Crossheir, I enjoyed every one.

Sir,– Doing The Irish Times crossword for the last decade has been a great escape at times and always thoroughly enjoyable. During the strictest lockdowns of the pandemic, it was in fact a health essential. I wish Crossheir all of the very best in the future. Big shoes to be filled indeed. – Yours, etc,
