I'd like to get better sensitivity at reading for puns/wordplay. For example, noticing that "proper tea" sounds like "property" ... any tips/tricks for developing this sensitivity?

Used to do the Times of India one in college. Recently did the NYT one for a while, but it's only occasionally and partially cryptic. Is there a good brit one you recommend? Medium hard/not too UK-centric, and preferably free?

Oscar Wilde, if you're looking for the poncy view. PG Wodehouse too. Battle rap and comedy music like Dr Demento or Weird Al (I like Kinky Friedman albums)
