Subject: Cornered Crosswords! - COMPLETE

Let's build things a little bit differently.
While we've set crossword challenges requiring that puzzle creators use specific keywords in specific spots, this one isn't requiring exactly that. For those of you who work from the centre outward, this is the opposite-- we want you to start from the corners, or at least focus on them.
In this challenge, all twenty categories need a puzzle, and for each you need to choose a letter of the alphabet. That letter must be in all four corner squares of your grid. You can choose any puzzle style you want to accomplish this. No category duplicates; no letter selection duplicates. You can claim more than one if you want, but only if your preceding puzzle goes online.
Completed Categories
Animals - Psnz - Letter: B
Brain Teasers - Leith90 - Letter: W
Celebrities - Moonraker2 - Letter: R
Entertainment - Leith90 - Letter: O
For Children - Psnz - Letter: C
General - Spanishliz - Letter: J
Geography - 1nn1 - Letter: T
History - Spanishliz - Letter: A
Hobbies - LadyNym - Letter: P
Humanities - Spanishliz - Letter: I
Literature - Moonraker2 - Letter: N
Movies - Moonraker2 - Letter: S
Music - Pollucci19 - Letter: M
People - 1nn1 - Letter: X
Religion - BigTriviaDawg - Letter: H
Sci/Tech - Psnz - Letter: D
Sports - Moonraker2 - Letter: L
Television - Spanishliz - Letter: G
Video Games - Pollucci19 - Letter: Y
World - Moonraker2 - Letter: E

Are there any restrictions on the grid? Size, symmetrical or not, percentage of fill? Reply #3. Aug 31 22, 6:04 PM |

Can I change my letter please? I'll take the 'W' instead. Reply #4. Aug 31 22, 6:10 PM |

Seeing as how Leith90 doesn't want "B", may I please take it? I'll use it with an Animals puzzle. Reply #5. Aug 31 22, 7:23 PM |

I assume puzzles will need to follow all normal FunTrivia rules. The Animals crossword I'm working on has 71% fill and is 90° symmetric. Reply #6. Aug 31 22, 7:26 PM |

A comment has been made that the grid I used above would make it easy to use X or Z. So, picking up the gauntlet, let's to X and People and make the grid harder. (Why, oh why, do I set myself these just-about-impossible tasks, slaps face with gauntlet, grumbles, sharpens pencil, and settles down to work) Reply #18. Sep 10 22, 3:34 PM |
