1 Across is a small magazine founded in 1984 by John Graham (Araucaria) to supply crossword enthusiasts with a monthly serving of original themed puzzles.

Since 2000, the magazine has been edited by The Spectator’s crossword editor, Tom Johnson.

Each month, 1 Across features two new crosswords by Araucaria and three other puzzles by guest compilers, one of which is a prize puzzle.

The editorial articles cover many aspects of the crossword world, often inspired by correspondence from subscribers.
