The 1ACross 7th Anniversary Gridfest was a tremendous success. It has grown leaps and bounds since the first edition in 2015 when we had 35 participants solving 13 grids. The numbers speak for themselves.
Gridfest Stats (excluding the Practice Puzzle which had over 100 submissions):
Registered Participants = 143
Number of times puzzles were attempted = 2,929
Number of valid submissions = 2,189
Number of ALL-CORRECT submissions = 1,226
Solvers:
On average, we had 88 participants submitting each of the 25 grids – a phenomenal 2,189 submissions during the period. All-correct responses averaged 55% and ranged from 17% for Grid 8 (Triple One) to 88% for Grid 14 (Fare for Beginners).
Since participants could solve at their own pace and time, the number of all correct entries was quite high as expected.
The enthusiastic response from the participants and their comments are a testimony to the high quality of the contest and especially that of all the grids that were up for solving.

SR(Strike Rate) – Is a measure of the Accuracy Score, Calculated by dividing Cumulative Score / Maximum Score
At the end of the month long contest, Mona Sogal has emerged as the Champion. She stands unbeaten at the top slot with a remarkable record of zero errors during the entire Gridfest thus maxing the score.
Anirudh Sahni, Kenny Koh and Samit Kallianpur share the second place. Each of them made 1 error which was related to bonus questions at the end of the grids.
The third place goes to Madhup Tewari, who had 1 error and also missed the time bonus on another grid.
Congrats to all the winners. The full leaderboard can be viewed at the end of this post
Setters:
The Gridfest was run in two stages and we had 25 grids from 30 setters after two dropped out (since they were unable to incorporate the feedback / changes required within the original deadline). 20 grids were solo efforts of setters and 5 were joint efforts by pairs of setters. 21 setters are based in India and 9 setters are based outside India (in UK, Germany, Australia, USA, Thailand and Bahrain).
All the grids in the Gridfest were run anonymously and the Setter’s identities were not disclosed – so that the solvers could judge each grid on its own merit and not on earlier expectation.
Over a two week period prior to the Gridfest, each grid was subject to close scrutiny by me as well as the Gridfest co-ordinators viz., Bhalchandra Pasupathy, Ramki Krishnan and Satyen Nabar. The experienced team not only provided value-add to each setter but also gave a lot of guidance and valuable suggestions throughout the contest. It was possible to run this successfully only because of their huge support.
Each solver was requested to assign 3 ratings for each grid. Difficulty, Entertainment Value and Overall Quality (on a scale of 1-10). The Average scores for Entertainment Value and Quality for each grid were then converted to a COMBINED score and a final score on 100 was arrived for each grid.
Here are the stats for the Top 10 grids.

It was a very close contest and all the grids had very good feedback from the solvers.
In first place with the highest rating of 86.2 is Hypatia’s “The End Game” (Grid 18). The Grid had a NINA in the shape of “7” for the Seventh Anniversary. The Across clues were neither in their correct locations nor provided with enumerations. The Across solutions were linked by a pattern and like a jigsaw, these had to be fitted in their correct locations by identifying the pattern. The Grid had the fourth highest difficulty rating (after Zero Sum, The Secret Seven and Toil & Trouble). It had the highest quality rating and the third highest Entertainment rating (after Across the XY of Z and A Novel Puzzle). It also had 30% of the solvers giving it a full score.
The second place is shared by three grids Dr. X’s “A Novel Puzzle”, Sceptic Cryptic’s “Wise Lovers” and “Across the XY of Z” by Kriskross.
“A Novel Puzzle” (Grid 21) featured two hidden clues which had to be cracked like a Whodunnit to reveal a secret theme. There was intrigue as solvers had to hunt for hints and fully unravel the mystery. The Grid was ranked fourteenth – indicating a medium level of difficulty. It had the third highest quality rating (after “The Endgame” and “Wise Lovers”) and the second highest Entertainment rating (after “Across the XY of Z”). It also had 25% of the solvers giving it a full score.
“Wise Lovers” (Grid 10) was an entertaining puzzle with a theme that had to be identified based on generic definitions in the clues. The Grid was ranked 16 for difficulty – putting it in slightly lower than the average difficulty. It had the second highest quality rating (after “The Endgame”) and the fourth highest Entertainment rating (after “Across the XY of Z”, “A Novel puzzle” and “The Endgame”). It had 21% of the solvers giving it a full score.
“Across the X Y of Z” (Grid 25) was the last grid in the Gridfest. This themed grid had special hidden messages that gave useful clues to crack the title and the theme. The Grid was ranked 20 for difficulty – on the easier side of the spectrum compared to most of the other grids. It had the fourth highest quality rating (after “The Endgame”, “Wise Lovers” and “A Novel puzzle”) and the highest Entertainment rating. It had 23% of the solvers giving it a full score.
In third place with a rating of 82.4 is “The Games are Afoot” (Grid 24) by the Brothers of Construction. It had a topical theme for 2020 and the theme was well woven in both clue surfaces and the grid. At the core of the grid was a NINA and there were special theme entries that needed to be identified by the solvers.
Congrats to all the winners.
Although they did not score highly in the contest, there were two exceptional grids which were my personal favorites. They also made the competition pretty hard and intensely fought. One is Zero Sum by Bingo which had a mindboggling concept of letters being switched in and out of the grid entries. It was also the most discussed grid in social media. The second was Secret Seven by Eclogue which had seven NINAs in one puzzle. An amazing grid construction specially put together by Eclogue for our 7th Anniversary, it was also the grid that pretty much jump started the Gridfest. Kudos to the setters of both these grids.
Sponsors:
Paytm was the Event Sponsor. Finding a corporate sponsor for an intellectually stimulating challenge is virtually impossible. A huge thanks to Vijay Shekhar Sharma, CEO of Paytm for readily agreeing to sponsor the event. It was this backing which gave us a confidence boost right at the outset and made it possible to conduct this event on a large scale.
We also thank Amuselabs – particularly Mr. Sudheendra Hangal for providing the Event platform which made it possible to collate the huge volume of submission data that is needed to run a competition of this kind. Also, thanks to Yash Joshi for all the technical support and troubleshooting.
In addition, we also had the support from our patrons at 1ACross. Most of them have backed Gridfest 2.0 as well and they were on board from the word go. They have also been generous with their voluntary contributions and we are truly grateful to each of them for their continued support.
