Alas! It's time for a new crossword challenge, and perhaps one that's a little different this time around. We're looking for a dozen crosswords, but as usual there's a catch.
For this challenge, choose a category that isn't General. Using the first letter of your category, construct a crossword with 12 words that contain that letter. If your chosen category starts with a vowel either construct a crossword that contains 12 words that start with that letter or 18 words containing that letter.
We're looking for twelve different categories and you can claim them on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may write more than one, but you can only claim subsequent categories when your earlier ones are placed online. Any given creator can contribute a maximum of three crosswords for this challenge.
Completed Categories:
Animals - Pusdoc
Brain Teasers - Leith90
Geography - Psnz
History - Spanishliz
Literature - VBookWorm
Movies - Pollucci19
Music - Pollucci19
People - 1nn1
Religion - Ceetee
Sci/Tech - BigTriviaDawg
Sports - Psnz
Video Games - Psnz

Just re-reading the instructions for this challenge, could someone please verify that this is correct? "For this challenge, choose a category that isn't General. Using the first letter of your category, construct a crossword with 12 words that contain that letter. If your chosen category starts with a vowel either construct a crossword that contains 12 words that start with that letter or 18 words containing that letter." Should the first part be: "Using the first letter of your category, construct a crossword with 12 words that START WITH that letter."? Reply #5. Feb 20 23, 1:42 PM |

psnz... definitely says contain. That said, I will be endeavouring to have 12 words that start with the letter M. Might even attempt a second to ensure "every" word "contains" the letter M Reply #8. Feb 20 23, 7:52 PM |

My crossword's words don't all start with L but they contain L. Is that ok? Reply #9. Feb 20 23, 7:57 PM |

VBookWorm: the way I read it is that if you have 12 such words, you're fine. Reply #10. Feb 20 23, 8:32 PM |

Is a Brain Teaser allowed? If so, I'll tackle the B's. I'll be on a cruise with dodgy internet, so much of it may have to wait until my return. Reply #12. Feb 20 23, 10:38 PM |

Wait. Polluci19, you could do more than 12 words as long as at least 12 contained the appropriate letter? That's great news to me because I was fretting about how I am to fit 12 words into the whole grid. Reply #15. Feb 24 23, 12:14 PM |
