“Community Crostic Construction” led by Rick Winston

Rick Winston has been constructing twice-monthly crostic* puzzles for the Times Argus and Rutland Herald for the past seven years. At this event, he will explain how crostic construction works and then lead the group in the construction of a new puzzle, which will appear in the newspapers this fall.

The event is free.

*A crostic (or “acrostic” or “double crostic”) is a type of word puzzle, related somewhat to crossword puzzles, that typically consists of two parts. The first part is a set of lettered clues, each of which has numbered blanks representing the letters of the answer. The second part is a grid consisting of numbered blanks and spaces, representing a quotation, into which the answers for the clues fit. In most forms of the puzzle, the first letters of each correct clue answer, read in order from clue A on down the list, will spell out the author of the quote and the title of the work it is taken from.
