Lovatts Crosswords & Puzzles

Lovatts Crosswords & Puzzles is a premier brand in the puzzle publishing industry, founded in 1978 by James and Christine Lovatt. The brand began as a family-operated venture at a kitchen table in Australia, where the couple hand-compiled their first puzzles. Over the decades, it has grown into a major international name, becoming the market leader in crossword and puzzle publishing across Australia and New Zealand, with a significant presence in the United Kingdom.

The brand is owned and operated by Lovatts Media, a privately owned Australian company headquartered in Terrigal Beach, New South Wales. While the editorial content and design are centered in Australia, the physical magazines are printed and distributed regionally to serve markets in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, often utilizing local printing facilities in those respective regions to ensure timely distribution. Beyond its own titles, the company also syndicates its puzzle content to numerous major media organizations worldwide.
