Question to any visitor
ReplyDeleteToday, I, as self-appointed moderator, imposed some restrictions. Thanks to solvers for co-operating with me.
I entered the solutions in the given grid. I would like to know whether they are seen by others too on their respective machines.
It depends on cookies, I believe.
Its blank
Deleteits not seen by others.
DeleteHi CV Sir, having a blank grid is anyway better for solvers who wish to crack the entire crossword.
DeleteYes, that's exactly why I asked the question. I didn't want a partially filled in grid to be available to others. My filling it enabled me to keep track of slots still available.
DeleteSir, I, for one, had only a blank grid. I think it will be the same for others also.
ReplyDeleteThanks. So I had thought. Just wanted to be sure.

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed 3D. Though I filled in after getting 'off',it took a while to parse wrong 'un. Coming as it does with cricketer one's thinking goes towards googly and some such. Cratfty!
