The Times is a British daily national newspaper, first published in London in 1785. A daily cryptic crossword is published in the main newspaper, and the Mind Games section in the Times2 supplement contains sudoku, Killer Sudoku, KenKen, word polygon puzzles, and a quick crossword. Richard Rogan, Times Crossword editor, was born in 1961. He comes from Northern Ireland, and attended Coleraine AI and Reading and Lancaster Universities, where he studied French. A crossword addict from an early age, he started compiling puzzles for his parents and gradually started having puzzles published, first in the Listener series in the Times. He became a regular setter for the Times Crossword in 2004, and gave up a career in IT to become the paper’s crossword editor in 2014. He lives in Cheltenham with his wife and young son, and his interests outside crosswords include running and reading, However he is finding that being a crossword editor takes up a lot of his time!
