Guest Puzzle December 2012 "Theaters" by Kevin Cadmus
Instructions: Guess the words defined by the cryptic clues (answers vary in length from four to eleven letters, seven are capitalized, two are acronyms, and two consist of two words) then enter them in the grid one after another in the same order as their clues, starting in the upper left corner. Across words that don't end at the right continue on the next row, and down words that don't end at the bottom continue in the next column. Seven across words and four down words won't fit in the grid unless one of their letters is omitted. Those eleven letters, taken in order as they occur in across and down words, spell a two-word phrase related to the mystery entries. If you are having trouble printing these puzzles, you can download an
Adobe Acrobat version of the puzzle and grid.
