Nothing special for such a special number, but some quite good clues in there!

I admit to being a bit dissaponted as I was looking forward to something a bit more imaginative for 25,000.

I too was disappointed that today's crossword had no reference in clues or solutions to the fact that it was number 25,000. I did think it was more difficult than usual and, in fairness to The Times, they did have an interesting article and a section of the Editorial to mark the occasion.

The article mentions that Puzzle number 5,000 and Puzzle number 15,000 are on The Times website today (thetimes.co.uk/puzzles)
Has anyone managed to find these puzzles? If anyone has can they please let me know where they found them - I have been unsuccessful in my search,

Hello Brackendale - the puzzles are on the Times Crossword Club Site - I could email them to you if you like??

Thanks for the offer, Sudokolover.

In fact I subscribe to The Times Crossword Club but normally I only use the website when I am out of the country as we have The Times delivered every day at home. I never thought to use the club website as today's paper gives the clear impression that the two crosswords are freely available to everyone.

I have now visited the website and have printed off the two crosswords.

Thank Again.
