Crosswords

Which crosswords are available from Telegraph Crossword Society?
Members have access to exclusive historical crosswords that do not appear anywhere else, either online or offline, as well as the Telegraph crosswords you may already be accustomed to. In addition, we have developed interactive versions of the our crosswords and produce a monthly e-mail bulletin which you can sign up to here. Other developments are in the pipeline.

The following crosswords are available through Telegraph Crossword Society:

Most crosswords have an interactive version available too. Sudoku - the number puzzle - will soon be available from Telegraph Crossword Society.

Which methods of payment can I use to start my membership?
You can use Matstercard, Visa, Solo, Switch, Delta and JCB to make your payment via secure servers and using WorldPay, a division of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

How do I know if my payment has been accepted?

If your payment is declined during the payment process, please contact your card issuer directly.

I subscribed to Telegraph Crossword Society last year, why am I being charged again this year?
Gift subscriptions and Holiday subscriptions are one-off payments but all other subscriptions are made on an ongoing basis. This is made clear in the Terms and Conditions of membership which all payees agree to prior to making their payment. In addition, the email sent to you after you have made your payment contains details of the ongoing payment agreement and offers you a login and password to access your WorldPay account and alter the ongoing payment agreement.

How do I cancel my ongoing payment agreement?

Please note that payments are taken on the basis on the ongoing payment agreement you agreed to when starting your membership and which is confirmed when you complete your payment.

As a Mac User, can I access the interactive puzzles?
Regrettably, some Mac users may find that they cannot do the interactive crosswords. This does not affect Mac users who use Internet Explorer.

The following information might be of assistance:

For Internet Explorer V5.0 please click on edit and then preferences, now choose web browser followed by web content and then active scripting, then tick all the options. Now, make sure the security settings are set to zone = internal and security level = Medium. You must also ensure that all Java options are enabled As an alternative, you may find that the site is better accessed using Netscape Navigator V4.7 and upwards. A free download is available from: http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp

I see a window with a grey square and not the interactive crossword?

How do I play the interactive crossword?
Please select the clue you wish to answer by:

On the grid, the whole of the live clue will be shaded with the yellow box indicating the start point of anything you type.

The correct answers are shaded green, the incorrect pink.

To overwrite a mistake click onto the offending letter and type a replacement, or a space.

If a crossword grid distorts after scrolling, please click refresh on the browser.

As an AOL customer, can I use the crossword?
You will be able to use the crossword but we do recommend that you log out of telegraph.co.uk and minimise your AOL browser and then try using Internet Explorer. Click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon or go to Start/Programmes to access Internet Explorer and then access www.telegraph.co.uk afresh.

How do I print the crossword?

Why does the crossword grid not load?
If the crossword grid does not immediately download please run the following checks.

Ensure that you have Java enabled by taking a look at your browser's settings. Typically when people report the grid as not loading, the problem is due to their Java settings.

Refresh the page until the grid loads.

The grid may not load for dozens of reasons most to do with your PCs processing power, the stability of your connection to the internet or your browser's settings.
