Whyville Times readers!
Welcome to the Whyville Times Double Issue Crossword Puzzle! To solve the puzzle, you'll need to read the Times -- you'll find most of the answers buried in the articles written by your fellow citizens. The more you read, the easier the puzzle will be!
Once you've filled in every Up and every Down, the "Submit" button should highlight on your screen. Hit submit and you're home free!
The first ten people to solve and submit the crossword will receive at least 100 clams. Everyone else who correctly answers the puzzle will get a 20-40 clam bonus!
Looks like this is more complicated to program than we thought, giving clams to crossworders based on how many answers they get right. Keep reading here for more on this, but it probably won't happen before the winter, if at all.
Okay, enough talk... time to crossword!
