Subject: S/M/L Crossword Challenge - COMPLETE
Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Jul 05 21
As one crossword challenge is completed, another one magically appears.
In this challenge in July 2021, you are required to create three interconnected symmetrical crosswords: One small, one medium, one large. They are connected in two ways. The first is by title. The title of each one should indicate they are part of a series. (That's the easy bit). The second is to have at least one word of six letters or more that is the same word in each crossword but each time is has a different clue.
For instance, let's say that the 'connecting' word is GERMANY. The three clues are: Berlin is the capital; France's neighbour; and, Invaded Poland, 1939.
An example of connected titles include: A Small Crossword on Europe; A Medium Crossword on Europe; and, A Large Crossword on Europe.
There are a few other criteria to consider:
1. Any category you like EXCEPT General (The three crosswords do not need to be in the same category).
2. Minimum 70% white square content, no two letters words, no airport codes as clues, please.
3. Don't forget that symmetry is required.
4. We need to get this challenge finished by the end of July so we can post the next challenge. Please try to get all three written in this time frame.
Specific instructions
1. When submitting your crossword please use the 'Option Note to Editor:' box to indicate:
a. This is one of your challenge crosswords
b. Include the common word, its location and the clue.
c. If this is your second or third crossword carry the same details over from the previous crossword so on the third crossword, all three clues will appear in this box.
2. When your crossword goes online, come back to this thread and post the details so we can link the three together and hyperlink them in the header.
OK, that's enough - Get cracking! Good luck.

I'm not sure whether you can tell, but I have enjoyed this event. Last week I was inspired listening to our Concert FM radio station and produced another set of puzzles. Many thanks to the three editors who helped get these online.

Kudos to everyone involved with this challenge, from inception to conclusion. I really enjoyed it, along with completing all of the crosswords it produced. One takeaway for me is to check beforehand that the grid I'm using meets the coverage specifications. One of my medium grids only had 62% letter squares and it proved quite difficult adding more clues to reach the target. Personally, I'm hoping it's not going to be too long before another challenge is upon us. Thanks again! Reply #112. Aug 01 21, 4:15 PM |
