What Puzzles and Services Are Available on The Canberra Times Website?

The Canberra Times site offers more than news: it has interactive puzzles (Crossword, Sudoku, Ultimate Trivia, Cryptic Crossword, Word Search and Code Cracker), a jobs board called ViewJobs, classifieds, tributes and funeral notices, a community noticeboard, and newsletters and alerts. Some of these are free to browse, but the site's own wording ties full puzzle access and the digital print edition to a subscription, so check the subscription page before assuming everything is open.

Interactive puzzles

The site lists these puzzles under its Puzzles section:

Access condition: The site says premium subscribers "enjoy interactive puzzles," which suggests puzzles sit behind the subscription tier rather than being fully open. If puzzles are your main reason for visiting, confirm the current offer on the subscription page first.

How to get there: Use the "Puzzles" link in the site navigation or the "Play Puzzles" prompt on the homepage. The expected result is a puzzle hub where you pick a game and play in the browser.

Jobs and classifieds

• ViewJobs — described as bringing "the best job opportunities across Australia." Use it to search listings by role or location; it is a separate jobs portal linked from the main site.
• Classifieds — the general classifieds section for buying, selling and services.
• AgTrader, Country Cars, Horse Deals — specialist classifieds within the same network for agricultural, vehicle and equestrian listings.

Community and notices

• Noticeboard — community notices and local announcements.
• Tributes & Funerals — death notices and funeral announcements, a standard service for regional Australian papers.
• Obituaries — longer-form obituary coverage under the News section.

These are lookup services: you go to them when you need a specific notice, not for browsing news.

Newsletters and alerts

The site offers a "Newsletters & Alerts" section, and the homepage greets returning users by name ("Good morning") with a "Newsletters" link in their account area. Subscribing means signing up with an email address to receive curated updates; the exact frequency and topics are set on the newsletter sign-up page.

Other practical services

• Today's Paper — the digital edition of the print paper, listed as a premium subscriber benefit.
• Download our app — the mobile app, which subscribers can use for faster access to content.
• My Region / network sites — the subscription covers regional titles including the Braidwood Times, Crookwell Gazette, Goulburn Post, The Queanbeyan Age and Yass Tribune.
• Contribute — a route for readers to submit photos or tips.

What to check before relying on a service

The homepage evidence does not state prices or whether any individual service is free. The subscription page is the place to confirm what a digital subscription currently includes, since the site's own description bundles unlimited news, app access, puzzles and Today's Paper into the subscriber offering. If you only need job listings or funeral notices, those are typically reachable without a subscription, but verify on the page itself rather than assuming.
