For Women’s Day 2024, 1ACross is happy to present “Sum of their parts”, a special series of puzzles put together by several talented cruciverbalists from across the globe.

This is the second in the series of Mini grids to be published each day at 11:00AM IST (8:30AM Bahrain), culminating on 8th March. Two lights from each of the first four grids when combined form a clue phrase with eight words. The solution to the clue put together from these is in Grid 5 and has to be identified by the solver.

All those who wish to participate must submit each of the 5 Mini grids as well as the bonus form accompanying the last grid, on or before EOD 15th Mar. 2024. All those who submit entries have a chance to enter our new leader board for 2024. Annotations for the puzzle will be posted in the blog on Saturday, Mar. 16th, 2024.

The title of this special series is also symbolic of the synergetic impact of each woman on her family – As you solve the grid, please take the opportunity to appreciate the women in your family and the countless things they do for you.
