Crossword blog: Meet the setter – Screw

The latest in our series where we turn the tables on the torturers. Under the spotlight this time is Dave Warder, AKA Screw

Screw had his first Guardian cryptic published in March 2015. At the time, I wrote: “Keener readers might have noticed Donk in the comments hereabouts, as well as in thefeaturedclues”, alluding to his Independent puzzles.

Since then, he has established an economical, shrewd and occasionally cheeky style – so let’s meet the setter. (And if you are one of those solvers who prefers not to know what the setters look like, avert your eyes before the image at the end.)
