We're back with a couple more word puzzles -- this time two different "acrostic" grids for you to fit the 34 supply centers into. But first, some unfinished business....

For those of you who took a shot at the word search puzzle in the previous issue of the Zine, you can find the solution here. Many thanks to Dann Fuller ([email protected]) for taking the time to scan it in and send it to us.

Now, here's another supply center word puzzle for your enjoyment. The goal is to fill in the squares below with the names of all 34 supply centers (leave off the period in St. Petersburg). No clues; just a lot of empty blanks. Simply use the pull-down menus (below the grid) to fit the names of the 34 supply centers into the puzzle. It's not as easy as it sounds, though! There's just one possible solution, but only by a thoroughly enjoyable application of grey matter can you know which supply center goes into which spot!

NOTE: If you prefer working on paper
or if your connection is too slow to solve the puzzle online,
we also provide a version you can print out to solve with a pencil.

Update Puzzle With Each Selection?
 
 


When you've finished that one, we have another for you. Same idea; perhaps a smidge more difficult. For the one up above, thanks goes to puzzlemaker.com, but the next one is Hand-made. (These are Manus's personal favorites in the family of pencil puzzles.)


Have fun! E-mail a copy of your solutions as soon as you have them, and you'll see your name in electrons in the next issue of the Zine!
