I subscribed to Puzzler Collection for…

I subscribed to Puzzler Collection for £10.47 for 3 issues and an offer of a free Puzzler Annual . Upon receiving the first issue I was charged £11.25 . I enquired about the discrepancy and was told I was charged the amount because I didn't tick a specific box , which is nonsense . I cancelled the subscription . They did send out the annual

Smaller type is annoying

I have found the type is smaller and very difficult to read in places. This has occured because the size of the overall book has been reduced. The print is often smudged.
I am enjoying the actual content but it is far more difficult over the past months as I have to check and double check the print. I am resorting to a magnifying glass on occasions.
I am sure I am not the only person making such a comment as friends of mine have agreed with me!

I love both my subscriptions

I love both my subscriptions, one is Suguru and the other Logical Problems. I prefer Suguru now, but I use to prefer Logical before there was a change in the editorial staff. Then there was a change in the way the results were shown. Now sometimes there is a mistake in the problem but because the results are not explained as they used to be the editors do not notice the mistake/s. Otherwise I love Puzzler. Thank you for this chance to make my complaint. Carmen Sant Malta 01.04.2026

Bought for granddaughters six and 8, they really love doing all the puzzles. Good for concentration and I didn’t realise how clever they are.
