The Maverick Crossword Volume 1

A crossword book for the Maverick mind

For years, Daily Maverick readers have enjoyed our crosswords on our digital platforms and, most recently, in our weekly newspaper DM168.

With the advent of word games such as Wordle, we’ve noticed an increase in enthusiasm for our crosswords.

The Maverick Crossword book is the first crossword collection by a South African news agency. Similar to the New York Times and Guardian crossword books, this collection is made for sophisticated readers who keep up with news and current affairs.

These 100 crosswords’ clues and solutions are specific to the South African experience and diverse worldview. Our collection includes some of Daily Maverick’s favourite features, including politics, the climate crisis and lifestyle, to business and civil society. It also includes more general trivia clues and solutions.
