Wish to reach David with a puzzling, composing or speaking request?

Have a general verbal query? (Please, no direct Q&A about the latest DA crossword – that’s why the cyber-gods invented the wonderful DA Trippers blog site.)

Nor can I hope to amplify every decision, or word-story, made on Letters & Numbers. For queries of that nature, please contact the SBS website directly.

Keen to respond to the Wordplay column? Or suggest a Wordwit puzzle? Then fire away. Your comments and ideas may well be part of a future website piece, puzzle or column – unless you state otherwise, of course.

Or maybe you’d like to propose a word or phrase to explore on Letters & Numbers? I can’t promise I’ll be able to solve every mystery in the dictionary, but feel free to share your ideas.

Or perhaps you have something else DA- or domain-wise on your mind. Then fill out the basics below and zap an email. While I can’t always respond to every letter or request, your thoughts and comments are welcome.

PS: if you aspire to be a future compiler, then let me encourage you to get involved with the site’s many games and contests, and strut your verbal stuff. I can’t be more mentor-like than that. Offsite, keep refining your own puzzles and seek feedback via more collective puzzle blogs and editorial desks, both mainstream and marginal. It ain’t easy, I know, but if you have the fire, and solve (and play) regular word games, then your day will come. Trust me. Good setters are hard to find.
