Very intriguing and intricate to form. A phrase out of circled letters.
Puzzle submitted. Excellent clues.
Submitted. Not sure if it has reached or not as there was no customary reply,”Your response has been recorded”
Yes Vasant. Have received both your grid and the submission for the Bonus questions fine (no comments on the puzzle though..)
The new submission process is extremely counter-intuitive, doesn’t work well with full screen mode etc. I literally submitted the puzzle 3-4 times in order to get to the bonus questions!
Have you enabled a “scroll lock”? The bonus form is just below the grid in the Blogpost. It was my intention that you complete the grid and can just scroll down and fill the form – in fact saving you “back and forthing” if you need to refer to the grid. Also the grid itself adjusts to fill your screen on any device and you don’t really need to take it separately to a full screen mode, unless you want to.
Submitted. But there was no acknowledgement as per previous, i.e., “Your response has been recorded”. So not sure if my answers went through or not.
Have received your submission. Thanks for participating.
Nice interface for solving, but submission process is slightly painful. Not sure if mine went through or not.
