Subject: Three Little Letters (CWs) - COMPLETE
Posted by: 1nn1
Date: Jul 08 19
Welcome to this third style of crossword challenge with a premise that will have the capacity to send you crazy or reward you with the satisfaction of a job well done.
The premise is simple. You will be supplied with twelve (12) three-letter combinations (eg. BER, ACK). You are required to make twelve words using the letters in the sequence given and incorporate all twelve new words into a small crossword. Additionally, at least four of the words (that is two pairs) must cross each other. Besides using the letters in the exact sequence, the three letter sequences come with hyphens to indicate further instructions:
nnn- means the three letter sequence must start the chosen word and at least one more letter is needed (ie at least a four letter word).
-nnn means the sequence must end the word and at least one more letter is required at the beginning of the word (ie at least a four letter word).
-nnn- means at least a five letter word is required with the three letter sequence neither starting nor ending the word.
nnn (no hyphen) means at least a three letter word is needed. The sequence can start, end, or be in the middle of the word.
Each word requires one only set of three letters - You cannot use more than one set in any one word.
To request a packet of letters just request one in the thread below and a crossword editor will gladly dispatch a packet to you via your personal inbox.
Initially there will be only twelve packets of letters dispatched. The uptake and timely response will determine if future packets will be "filled". If you request a packet, please ensure your crossword is submitted in a timely manner to determine future viability of this challenge (ie. 'do you want more?'). Once you have one such crossword online you can request another packet.
As always crossword editors are here to help. Post your question in the thread below so all can see the same information.
When you have submitted your crossword, please feel free to use the thread to post your feedback on how you found this challenge as it will inform any future development of this challenge.

This was excellent! Challenging enough to be fun but not so hard that you want to tear your hair out. I'll give other authors a chance to nab a package of letters, but if there are any left tomorrow I may come back for seconds. Reply #7. Jul 09 19, 12:10 AM |
