New pumpkin shaped crossword, much harder and complicated for bigger brains.
Hello and welcome to Torn City News Crossword number 18...perhaps. We have lost count, but such things are irrelevant. What is most important is that we have a new puzzle for you, as I've heard the days are getting rainier and arctic winds will soon be blowing over the hardened landscape, forcing everyone to remain inside with nothing to do.
Before we provide you with a crossword to occupy your frigidly cold fingers, let's see the answer to the previous crossword, shall we? "No worries, I can send some money" was the solution, and despite three Erotic DVDs being on offer, few managed to come across it. Pun intended.
The first person to answer correctly was Sabretooth. Three randomly selected runner ups were _Ebn_, chaaaaarl with 5 a's in his name, and NeUsui. Congratulations to you all. Awards will be distributed shortly after I have carved my pumpkin.
Unfortunately we didn't have any properly solved crosswords that we could use to show you the answers, so I've given my own puzzle a snazy background of my own to show you how it's done. The picture is of that criminal from Blackpool who looks like David Schwimmer.
This week's crossword is new in that it kinda looks like a pumpkin, but rounder and less orange. The answers run around in a clockwise fashion or towards the center. Each cell takes one letter, and many of the answers are quite short. It's like a normal crossword, but bended over itself like that city in Inception. Let's call it Crossception. The answer to the puzzle is to be found within the blue cells.
1. A gun with a lucky number in its name (3)
2. Help a thousand players out of the jail (10)
6. Brings money and respect for your faction (2)
11. This angel magic will improve your strength and dexterity (3)
