@James34,
Hi Jim
I haven't come across this problem, ours always seem to be printed fine.
But it must be pretty disappointing and frustrating not to be able to do the puzzles because they are badly printed. Keep pointing this out to Lovatts, if they get enough complaints they will have to do something about it eventually.
All is well here, getting cold but winter is only a week or so away, so that's to be expected.
