The standard cryptic crossword here is one of a dozen cryptics by Hackwoody you can do for free: #1-12. Of these, Puzzle #11 is a sample themed one. With the buttons below the grid you can save your work to continue later, check letters you’ve entered, clear the grid to start again or show the solution. A timer runs when you enter your first letter in the grid. Happy solving!
