PUZZLE PIT
CROSSWORD NO. 37
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!WINNERS FOR CROSSWORD NO. 36
