I know the endless cycle of news, features and sport can become tiring - and that’s why the Lancashire Post is today launching a brand new Puzzles service just for digital subscribers.

Every day we’ll update our website with a set of four new games for you to sink your teeth into. Two crosswords, cryptic and quick, sudoku and a wordwheel.

Sound right up your street? If you’re a subscriber to the Lancashire Post you’ve already got access to the first four games today, all you need to do is click here to play.

But if you’re not, now may be the perfect time to see what a subscription is all about.
