Answers can be submitted by anyone who wishes to participate, on or before EOD 28th May. 2022. All those who submit entries have a chance to enter our new leader board for 2022.

If you enjoy our puzzles, you would also like our puzzle collections that have been published worldwide.

 

We are also happy to announce a special prize for this grid. We will be picking one lucky winner from the “all correct” entries, to receive a copy of “Letters to Margaret” by cartoonist Hayley Gold and crossword legend Andy Kravis. .

Letters to Margaret offers a fascinating peek into the issues facing crosswords today from multiple perspectives with a healthy dose of romcom antics, linguistic banter, and puzzles that the reader can solve alongside the protagonists. So, in a crossword landscape — and a sociopolitical landscape — that’s so starkly divided, can two sides meet and create a whole? That’s the puzzle we offer for you to solve while following the stories of Margaret and Derry, laughing and crying all the way to the last page — or rather pages (a double-sided book has two of those). Although the puzzles in this book are not cryptic, Hayley is already working on her next book which is going to feature cryptic crosswords as well. So I’m sure our readers would look out for that.

Please note we can ship hard copies of the book only within the US or Canada. However, if the winner is outside the US, he/she will receive a digital copy instead
