Unfortunately very few of the puzzles we cover are available without paying for a subscription. A recent exception was a set of 3 old puzzles on Monday, which was the Times puzzle's 80th anniversary. Interesting puzzles, as they show you how much things have changed, but the 1940 one especially is pretty much impossible for present-day solvers, including the man who now holds the Times Championship title.
