Wow! You did do something very clever with it; you wrote the clues in rhyme. I think it would be hard enough to do so across, but to make it fit down is a stroke of genius.
Great job, Brenda. I will try to do it when I have more time.
Good idea. Now that nobody buys the paper anymore, we need to make sure we get the comics, horoscopes, and puzzles in the blogs.
This is one CRIME everyone would've loved. So intelligently CRIMED :))))
