The Genius is the Guardian’s monthly puzzle targeted at solvers who like to have an endgame of some sort over and above the core task of solving clues. The puzzles are often a means of learning more about subjects where solvers may just have scratched the surface in the past.
The puzzle may be found in interactive form (behind a paywall or as a limited free trial) at https://observer.co.uk/puzzles/everyman/article/everyman-no-4171 or openly as a pdf at https://tinyurl.com/Everyman4171.
