Puzzle Monthly Issue 1 2007
4 Answers
Is anyone else having trouble with the 2 crossword search puzzles in this months issue of the magazine? I cannot find any of the composers in puzzle 1, and cannot believe that all the answers I have entered are incorrect.
The second crossword search is downright impossible as 1across asks for 2 answers, whereas there are only 5 spaces, and in 3 acrosss only 5 spaces or 2 6letter clues.
There were similar mistakes in last years puzzles, but the editor never seems to take any notice of our complaints.Has anyone any ideas how to get the message through, or perhaps we should all stop buying the magazine!

Hi poodledoo......
Crossword Search page 32 .is a complete load of rubbish .
None of the spaces tally with the clues .
Crossword Search Page 28 ,,the clues all fit and the answers but you cannot get a wordsearch out of it any which way you try .In desperation I have entered Bax as there is no letter X in the grid.
The TryTangle doesn't tally up either but I have managed to solve it .
Also Ambidextrous has a mistake in it ..on the clues Tersely impolite ..Rude.. The extra letter is E Condiments holder Cruet ..Cruet does not make Rude less the E and vice versa !!
Grrr!

I have just taken out a new subscription too !
.As you say there are often mistakes .I seem to remember reading in one edition that they had been having trouble with the proof reading and that now they were under a new owner (Accolade ) the problem should be resolved Well...that's a laugh for a start !!
I think I will hang on until next months edition and see if they have anything to say about the mistakes this month and if not then I shall complain !!
A small error or typo you can live with but these were huge mistakes.
