PUZZLE PI T
CROSSWORD NO. 39
HOW IT’S DONE
The puzzle will already be familiar to crossword enthusiasts, although the
British style may be unusual as crossword grids vary in appearance from
country to country. Novices should note that the idea is to fill the white
squares with letters to make words determined by the sometimes cryptic
clues to the right. The numbers after each clue tell you how many letters are
in the answer. All spellings are UK English. Good luck!SOLUTION OF CROSSWORD NO. 38ACROSS
