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.

What!? Created them all at once? Please send your secret method. I've just submitted my "small". Reply #93. Jul 17 21, 1:11 PM |

oh pooh. I see you all are charging ahead. I'll be the laggard at the back of the pack. Sorry. Well we've sold the house and I'm moving in two days....hope I get points for commitment. Picture Godwit, at the wheel of a 19 footer, thinking only about clues across and down, asking the gas station attendant whether he likes "old world" or "ancient" better... Speaking of that I just saw "Genius", Colin Firth, Kidman and Jude law. Gorgeous movie. Reply #94. Jul 17 21, 1:19 PM |

Hello cruciverbalists, we are getting near the end of the month so we need to start winding this challenge up. I have checked the queue and allowing for those there are still a couple outstanding. So please make every effort to get those crosswords finished. Thanks Reply #98. Jul 26 21, 12:53 PM |

"It may be foolish asking this after I've written the crosswords, but what if the common word is actually two words. I've used the name of a fictional person (first name last name) as the common word. It appears in all three crosswords spelled identically but with a different clue each time.." This would be OK as long as the two words (within a single clue) are identical and the clues in each crossword are different. Reply #99. Jul 26 21, 12:58 PM |

I'm waiting on crazy-busy Kyle to see if my small is acceptable. I do struggle with that video game category. My Large is done (religion) and will go in as soon as the small goes through. If it does. How different do you need the clues to be? Mine are different but similar. Reply #100. Jul 27 21, 5:30 PM |
