Congrats to the winning team!
Thanks so much to everyone at Crosswordfiend for selecting our puzzle and for shepherding us through the editing process. We’re beyond excited to have our first puzzle published by you. :)
could we get a .puz or .jpz file, please?
Yes, the page has a link at the bottom for the .puz file now.
Will there be a pdf?
I’ve added a pdf link as well.
Thanks much.
Great puzzle! I particularly liked 8D: Letters often accompanied by a red dot. Even after I got all the crosses, I still was thinking, “What in the world does THAT mean?!?” And then the lightbulb went off, and what seemed to make no sense now seems incredibly obvious. Which is the way a great clue is supposed to work!
Thank you so much! It’s so much fun to write clues and I’m glad you connected with this one. :)
