As I just said on TV, the tiny crossword visible in tonight鈥檚 opening shot was created by our brilliant team member Dan Peake and CAN BE PLAYED. To save you copying it off the television, here are photos of both the simple and cryptic versions. Happy New Year!

While you are waiting for Puzzle Boat 9, Part 2, you can take advantage of a Valentine's Day sale. "Reverse" subscriptions (the last six issues you don't have) are half off as is a Fill in the Blanks subscription.

At 8pm, I'll be continuing to investigate anybody-but-Leonard-da-Vinci's-house in the game House of da Vinci III
Great game with lots of lovely tactile puzzles, but WE DON'T ACTUALLY SEE DA VINCI'S HOUSE. Maybe we will today? We'll soon see.

This week - I'll be back on board Puzzle Boat 8, I'll be chasing Leonardo da Vinci and his puzzles through the medium of Renaissance Italy, and I'll be doing two more cryptic crosswords. You're spoiled rotten.

Doing a bit of prep work for this week's Puzzle Boat 8, and the phrase "HEINOUS PUZZLE!" has just popped up.
Oh joy.

The 2nd February is #GroundhogDay.
According to #Orkney legend, if it's a clear day and the library balls can see their own shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If there's no shadow then spring will arrive early.
Reflections in the rain don't count. Spring is coming.

At 8pm UTC, we'll be knocking on the door of the House of Da Vinci III - where will he be this time? An upmarket airBnB? A shed in the countryside? Who knows, but there will be lots of puzzles and mechanisms for us to solve and play with.

At 8pm UTC, I'll be back on board Puzzle Boat 8, steering the ship through the wordplay-based puzzles and trying not to shipwreck myself on any unforseen trickiness.
