Here's another variety crossword type: Marching Bands
Rules
- Words march across each line. Each line has 2 words of variable length. The two words will fill up the whole line.
- Line 6's words are 5 letters each - they don't go through the black box.
- Words circle in each band. Each band's words are entered clockwise, one word after another, with clues given in order. The words together will fill up the band.
- All words are at least 3 letters long, and all are in dictionary.com except for the abbreviation and the phrase
(For those who have trouble with pictures: the grid is 11x11. The center square is blacked out. The rows are numbered 1-11 from top to bottom. Nested bands are lettered A-E from outside in)
