89. Andrew Sat. Dec. 8, 2007 | 10:08am
Whew. That was tough. But way fun!

Please, Jennie, I want sum’ ‘ore.
88. Christy Sat. Dec. 8, 2007 | 9:15am
I agree with DrunkBiking (#84). It would be fun to have a create-a-crossword contest. I have winter break coming up, so maybe I’ll make one and send it in anyway…
87. officeisms1978 Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 10:28pm
Darnit! The ONE day I can’t get online all day. I was really looking forward to this. I hope there’s another one.
86. Brett Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 9:38pm
So much fun! Hope there’s more! Good job to everyone who put it together!!!
85. laura Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 7:01pm
When I printed the crossword, “brought to you by officetally.com” didn’t print with it. Also, I was able to select and copy the clues from going to the entry form page and selected them there. Hope that helps some of you!
84. jess Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 5:27pm
i second #81
i wanted to print it out and do it, but i cant select/copy the clues to print them.

[from tanster: can't you just print the entire page?]
83. DrunkBiking Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 5:20pm
It’s a good idea tanster but I suggest a change.

I think instead of having a contest to solve a crossword, you should have a contest to create them.

People will probably surprise you with their cleverness at making them up and everyone wins from having more of them. And you can then post one a week of the winning entries for people to solve whenever they want.

Aw, I was at school today so I couldn’t participate :(
81. Courtney Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 3:05pm
Wait a second…it’s over??? Hey tanster, could we do the next one when most people aren’t at work?
80. cherzzz Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 2:09pm
Is there anyway we could get a PDF file uploaded that doesn’t say Office Tally so I can print it off and do the puzzle ?
79. Nikki Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 2:01pm
This is over? I didn’t even know it started. Last I saw it said “coming soon”, how long did this last? I guess I’ll still do it for fun. I love this site but I don’t come here hourly…
78. Phoenix Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 1:30pm
When is the next one? This was really fun, prize or no prize — this was awesome!
77. cpelc Fri. Dec. 7, 2007 | 1:21pm
I saw a post that said I had won after I submitted my entry…but I haven’t gotten an email yet…don’t know what to think?
