Sorry, there were no winners for our first Lighthouse Books crossword but try again
Okay, so here's the solution for our very first Lighthouse Books crossword. Some entries were very close but none were totally correct. We enjoyed the creativity of some of the entries. For 6 Down Another Location one entry had THEOLDNORTHEAST. Another had BOOKSONTHEBEACH. Both fit perfectly but didn't match our answer and, indeed, a place where we do exhibit some books, Patty and Friends on Martin Luther King Street N. We liked one answer for 2 Across: Fiction is ______. ASCREAM. Must have been thinking of Stephen King books. Another shout out for creativity goes to John Carter, who photographed his entry in front of a lighthouse. Very clever. No, it doesn't earn any extra points but it IS very creative. So that's it for this puzzle. We're putting up another shortly. It'll appear above this one in the blog. The solution for this one will also be found on our Facebook page as will the next Puzzler. Thank you to everyone who participated and to those who couldn't quite work up the gumption to try it. You'll have another chance at winning Lighthouse Dollars.
