Subject: Shaping Up Crosswords

Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Oct 19 22

We're here to create a particular image for puzzles on the site. Crosswords can be technically puzzling and, here, our challenge is to get our creators to combine their talents at construction with the constraints of form.

In this challenge, we're looking for picture grids. By this, we mean that your created puzzles should take on a specific shape. The crosswords must follow the rules and guidelines for crossword creation, of course. Additionally, the shape you choose/make must be tied to the theme of your puzzle. A crossword shaped like a box would be about boxes, for instance. Below are some provided options, but we're also looking for some of your own. Creators may make create one puzzle at a time; if one goes online, you can create another, but only one at a time. First-come-first-serve!

Claimable Shapes:
House
A nation's borders
A star with any number of points - BigTriviaDawg
Castle - Leith90
An animal - Psnz
Heart - Psnz
Musical Note - Pollucci19
Baseball Diamond - Spanishliz
Soccer Ball - Spanishliz
Bird - Psnz

I have done my best to make it look like a star. Not exactly easy when working with squares... It helps if you cross your eyes a little to make it a little blurry!

The quiz is on celebrities! Enjoy!

I agree that if you squint you can see the star :)

Squinting also works well on diamond shaped soccer balls... ;-P

Thanks again for the awesome editorial work getting the grid publishable, Liz!

The link that should go to psnz's bird quiz is a different crossword by a different author.

Thanks, V. (and K.)

Pleased to see the duck happily swimming in its pond, once again.
