What is a Telegraph account, and why do I need one?

You’ll need a Telegraph account to be able to make the most of the new Puzzles site; don’t worry if you don’t have one: a Telegraph account is easy to create, and is completely free. You may have already created this free online account by signing up on The Telegraph website or within our News app, using your email address. You will most likely have signed up to unlock a Premium article, or to access other features such as newsletters or My Telegraph.

Sign up for monthly puzzles newsletters

By signing up for a free Telegraph account, you can also opt in to receive our new regular puzzles newsletters, which include prize puzzles exclusive to the newsletter, our new crossword clue-writing competition, and all the latest puzzles news, hints and tips.

What do I need to do when I first log in?

The web address of Telegraph Puzzles isn’t changing, but you’ll need to confirm a few details when logging in for the first time. Don’t worry -- it’s quick and easy; however, if you’re unsure what to do, then you can email us at telegraphenquiries@telegraph.co.uk or call us on 0800 316 6050 (01622 335009 if calling from overseas). If you’re an existing Telegraph Puzzles subscriber then you’ll need to know your current Puzzles logon details. If you’re not sure of these, please call us or email us, and we’ll help you out.
