The article discusses updates concerning crossword puzzles in the Observer newspaper as it moves to new premises. It emphasizes the importance of retaining the usual positions of puzzles to avoid reader dissatisfaction. Notably, the Azed puzzles will be archived online while newer versions shift to a new site. The introduction of a Guardian quick crossword occurring daily helps cater to puzzle enthusiasts, alongside supplementary offerings like the weekend quiptic. The discussion touches on historical reader preferences and the challenges in everyday crossword presentation.
It's known in every newsroom that a paper making almost any mistake is preferable to dealing with the fallout from moving the crossword.
From 27 April, a Guardian quick crossword will appear seven days a week, along with our noncryptic Weekend crossword on Saturdays.
Azeds up to 2,757 will remain in place on this website, accessible from the Azed index, while newer puzzles will move to observer.co.uk.
For aspiring cryptic solvers, we have the weekend quick cryptic, then the Guardian week now begins in earnest on a Sunday with the gentler quiptic.
