welshblue 3,071 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) After a great idea by yellowman I've decided to pull this image from my gallery, to see how many answers people can get without them being there All answers relate to PDN ... however ambiguous a link it is Have fun. 10 rep points (over 2 days to anyone who can complete it) http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/175/c/6/crossword_by_pdnwelsh-d6agg4x.jpg">http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/175/c/6/crossword_by_pdnwelsh-d6agg4x.jpg Edited June 24, 2013 by welshblue 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kemaru 44 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 Wow, this is amazing! I'll have to copy this to a piece of paper (no printer) so I can work on it, although I have to admit I am horrendously poor at solving crossword puzzles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellowman 221 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 Welshy, are you sure of 16-Across? I am at this step, who can help? just save it as PNG for less size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshblue 3,071 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) @ YM ... duh you're right - I knew it was a 3 letter name. Scratch dpy for MKT. BTW you've got 27 Across wrong Also forgot to thank EER for the plug-in index (which I obviously forgot to check as YM pointed out) and for helping me get it finished by filling in some blanks Edited June 24, 2013 by welshblue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELEN 356 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 I don't think I ever completed a crossword puzzle. This one's really hard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshblue 3,071 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Just seen another mistake ... the last one or I'll eat my mouse ... 69 Down is only 2 letters not the (4) I've put ... maybe why I've spent my life cutting trees down to make paper, not printing on them *** Changes made in first post Edited June 24, 2013 by welshblue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barbieq25 936 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 45 down is missing the clue? 69 down has 2 spaces but clue says it is 4 letters? I have 16 blanks...attached is what I have so far... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshblue 3,071 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 This thing has been a headache from start to finish ... definitely one of the pieces I wish I'd never had the mis-inspiration to do 45 Down ... duh. I didn't have the GIF(t) of brains . 69 Down ... must have had my mouth full when I put (4) letters in the clue . The puzzle at the top was amended when YM blew my smugness outta the water It's now (2) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbieq25 936 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 It is very hard to write a crossword & this one is the very first cryptic puzzle I have ever done. I spent over 2 hours on it last night. As frustrating as it was at times, it was also a great challenge to take away the cares of the day & I loved it! 11 more to go. 31a - two? 48a - plugin 21d - dissolve 31d - tints 69d - up Hope Yellowman that you are not stuck on the same ones as me How are you going with it? Definitely not a mis-inspiration Welshy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ego Eram Reputo 2,440 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 I have 21 blanks @barbieq25: I can't resolve 31 down as "tints" because I have 38 across = Varicose. Am I wrong? (edit: yes) Best Clue: 41 across! Sharp eyed bird Most troubling clue: 73 across. I supplied the word - but still couldn't figure out the clue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbieq25 936 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 Darn, I am at work & I cannot find my attachment! I will have to do it in PDN instead of pencil & paper Yes, what a great clue is 41 I will post up what I have already when I get it done...bummer on the attachment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ego Eram Reputo 2,440 Report post Posted July 4, 2013 Yup - GDI. Thought the clue was a bit....difficult. @barbieq25: 17 down. I have Hoo (=cry) and Cool for Yellowman's work. I like your Hue + Real combination better. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
