On the third Monday of each month I’m planning to post a rotating feature, depending on what I have time to do or have been reading or for answering feedback. This month it’s crossword puzzles. To play them you’ll need to download the free Across Lite software at: http://www.litsoft.com/ Once you’ve downloaded and installed Across Lite, grab the text files from here and open them in Across to play the puzzles. In order to get them in the correct format, select the “Export as Text” option for downloading from the Google Documents FILE tab. You can check the solutions as you go or just wait until you’ve finished. Other sites on the web offer free crosswords too, like the NY Times and the Quarterly Review of Wines website.

The first of the puzzles that I’m posting was my first attempt at writing a crossword, and is pretty easy, the second is a bit more challenging. Most of the solution words are wine centered, but I had to connect them somehow…. Anyway, enjoy the puzzles and feel free to let me know what you think- or to email me if you have trouble loading them and I’ll help if I can.
