GOING TOO FAR: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Heads up! I highly recommend doing this on paper as the digital versions, well, are nigh-impossible. They’re doable, but they might not be much fun. Anyway. If you’re not familiar with this crossword variety, I included instructions in the Notepad of the PUZ file, but here it is again:
Many of the answers in this crossword are one letter too long and won’t fit in the spaces provided. Each of these answers will either begin or end in the gray square immediately before or after it. When the puzzle is done, all the gray squares will have been used exactly once, and the letters in them (reading left to right, line by line) will spell a quote by Sun Tzu.
Looking for more puzzles? The Hub Crossword (Sunday puzzles by me and Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon) and Marching Bands year six have begun. So if that To Do list needs even more puzzles, you know what to do.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Astonishing construction! And, all in all, not too difficult, though I’d have preferred doing it without a stress-induced visual migraine 😳. (No, not puzzles … politics! 🤪.)
I’ve finally begun doing the “Marching Bands” puzzles I’ve been getting since the beginning of the year. Also quite astonishing! And addictive, I fear … 😜.
nigh….but not completely 🙂 A great challenge however.
This one was great. Penciling it on paper helped a lot.
Really enjoyed this one… very fun.
This seemed like a squooshed crossword puzzle to me. But nothing stops me from rushing to these. Due to the fact that i have taken on nearly every one of Stanley Newman’s Saturday Stumper crossword puzzle since 2010, …..i’d like to see every puzzle grid laid out, with or without answers. It’s gotta be possible to do in this day and age. That’ll be my Christmas Wish for 2020. And a cure for Covid.
I found the digital version to be quite easy, actually. And fun. I kinda wish I didn’t have the hint (other than the title). That would have been a fun challenge.
Solved the .puz then filled in the blanks on the printed version to read the quote. FUN FUN FUN! Thanks!
This puzzle is 52A
This puzzle is wonderful. I normally don’t care for Quotation puzzles, but this is different because you don’t use the quotation to solve the grid, it is a “reward” when you are finished.
I wish your puzzles were consistently reviewed on Diary of a Crossword Fiend.
I have been scratching my head as I can’t figure out which clue (i.e. answer) the “s” in “seized” comes from.
Sorry for any spoiler there.
