I wish something similar would happen with cryptic crosswords, some of the old-world news papers have rea··y fiendish cryptics solving which almost looks like a black art, compared with sudoku, since it seems to require knowledge of many arcane things and conventions.

The channel has moved on to almost exclusively Sudoku but you can find quite a few cryptic crossword videos on Cracking the Cryptic, such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfVumsDGh0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfVumsDGh0 .. the thought process behind getting the answers really is mind boggling to me :-) Oh, and the New York Times stream solves of some of their crosswords at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCST13QgqzC5r81Fd6OO7nCQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCST13QgqzC5r81Fd6OO7nCQ .. I can get along with NYT levels of cryptic myself, but not British style cryptic which is another level.
