print this page Puzzle #41– October 2004 " JigsawPuzzle " Instructions: Guess the words defined by the cryptic clues (words vary in length from three to eleven letters and include six proper names and one two-word phrase), then enter them in the grid one after another starting in the upper left corner. Across words that don't end at the right margin continue on the next line below, down words that don't end at the bottom margin continue in the next column to the right. Warning : Clues are listed in the alphabetical order of their answer words, not in the order in which those answer words are to be entered in the grid. Solvers must determine that order on their own. As ever, I am indebted to Kevin Wald for help with the clues. (If you are having trouble printing these puzzles, you can download an Adobe Acrobat version of the puzzle and grid).
