Subject: Crossword Trios Challenge - COMPLETE
Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Nov 07 19
It's QuiWriMo and we want to help you guys find a bit of inspiration. We know some of you crossword writers love a bit of a challenge. This one is another new approach.
For this challenge, anyone participating must create THREE crosswords. Yeah, that's a bit blah, right? Just three crosswords? Sure; whatever. But we're not going to go so pedestrian. The goal is to create three crosswords, all the same size, but all with the same core theme.
For instance, let's say that the theme is 'water'. The goal is to create three different crosswords, each with a different take on water. And the catch is that all three need to be placed into different categories, so you could have a crossword about the Water Cycle in Sci/Tech, a crossword about the movie 'Waterworld', and a crossword about famous waterfalls in Geography. As long as all three are the same size, it works!
Here we have ten sets-- you can claim a theme and start constructing. You may only claim one theme at a time, but you can always claim more if you complete your set. HOWEVER, if you do, you have to pick three new categories you haven't done for the challenge yet. It's your challenge. ;)
The topics are:
Cats - Spanishliz - ONE - TWO - THREE
Dogs - VegemiteKid - ONE - TWO - THREE
March - Leith90 - ONE - TWO - THREE
April - Zorba_Scank - ONE - TWO - THREE
May - Pollucci19 - ONE - TWO - THREE
France - Zorba_Scank - ONE - TWO - THREE
England - Moonraker2 - ONE - TWO - THREE
The 1970s - Pollucci19 - ONE - TWO - THREE
The 1990s - Zorba_Scank - ONE - TWO - THREE
2019 - Spanishliz - ONE - TWO - THREE

Kyle, This is a good idea. Are there any plans to add other themes to the list as the originals get claimed and completed? Reply #22. Nov 14 19, 7:13 AM |

If this idea is revisited it would be a new list. We currently have plans for a larger CW challenge in December, but positive reception always helps us build new stuff down the line. :) Reply #23. Nov 14 19, 7:22 AM |

I have two of my CW's up and running, but the third isn't quite finished yet. Unfortunately, there will be a delay of a couple of weeks now because I'm going cruising again. Such a hard life... Reply #26. Nov 22 19, 12:23 AM |

I haven’t forgotten mine; had some personal challenges then the trio challenge proved tricky! Hoping to have it in by the weekend. Reply #37. Jan 21 20, 2:24 PM |
