In an Acrostic puzzle, use the clues to fill in the words below the grid. Each letter will correspond to a matching letter in the grid, which features a quotation reading from left to right, top to bottom. Black squares represent the ends of words. The first letters of the answers below the grid will spell the quote’s “source” (of sorts).
In a Spiral puzzle, answers go in two directions: from the outside to the middle, and from the inside out. Every space is used exactly twice.
Twists and Turns is a format invented by Andrew Ries. Turn answers weave through each row of the grid, going left-to-right in the first row, then right-to-left in the second, etc. Twist answers start or end in their middle square and proceed in a spiral pattern (but not diagonally or overlapping).
Note: when solving digitally, all twists are configured to go from left-to-right and top-to-bottom to avoid giving away the correct orientation.
In Spell Weaving puzzles, answers form one continuous chain starting at the left-most square and weaving in a clockwise pattern at the end of a row or column.
