American Crossword Puzzle Tournament

22nd Annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament • March 12-14, 1999

Cox/Rathvon Limericks

GAME INTRO | # 1 | # 2 | # 3 | # 4 | # 5 | # 6 | # 7 | # 8 | # 9


This year, Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon concocted a new team game that was greatly enjoyed on Friday night. Each person had to match his special symbol with all others in the hall sharing the same symbol. Then each on the team had one word from a limerick, which, as a team, they had to reconstruct. We present here the nine limericks which were so formed, for your enjoyment. This requires a java-enabled browser. Those unfamiliar with the world of crosswords will encounter references to puzzle solvers, constructors, and one crossword-loving diva. Enjoy reconstructing.
