Itโs that time of year, Christmas Cruciverbalists… TFTT is pleased to announce the Christmas Quickie Crossword Challenge.
If you are feeling festive and want to showcase your clue-writing skills now is your chance.
Hosted by Flashman, with lashings of brandy and a sprinkle of &Lits, this is your chance to help create a seasonal Quickie masterpiece.
How to Join:
- Comment below to register participation and claim a clue.
- We want regular Quickie solvers to take part.
- We are using a classic 15ร15 Times-style grid.
- There are 28 words available.
- Each clue writer will only see their assigned word, and so will still be able to enjoy solving the puzzle when it is published.
- Once signed up you will receive an email with instructions after a few days.
- Responses are due by 13 December.
Letโs make this yearโs puzzle a cracker! ๐ โจ
Update
Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in the Quickie Christmas Crossword. We received a large number of entries and unfortunately, not everyone could be accommodated. Apologies to those who couldnโt be included this timeโhopefully, you can join us next year. Those taking part will be emailed today. If any spots open up, I will contact those in reserve.
Stay tuned for updates: the puzzle will be published on Saturday 21 December with blogged solutions on Thursday 26 December ๐
I’ll have a stab if there’s room.
There are still a couple of slots available, and it would be good to have some solvers on standby.
Regular solver/infrequent commenter – would be great to have a crack!
Happy to have a crack if any slots left.
Please can I have a go?
put me on the list please. Great idea
I’m in if there are any clues left!
Yes, please, unless I am too late.
Guessing I might be too late but if not please include me.
Iโd love a word please
Possibly too late but if possible…
I must be too late for the party , but I would have been happy to participate. I was privileged to have my clue suggestions accepted by sotira when she organised the Christmas Turkey some years ago: thanks for taking on the mantle.
Hi George, I am just collating the numbers and it would be good to have some reservists.
Many thanks for taking this on Flashman- so pleased to see it being resurrected ๐ My attendance is probably classified as irregular these days, so I don’t think I’d qualify to design a clue anyway but I look forward to seeing the end result ๐๐
