This is my last crossword for The Swarthmore Phoenix. Of all the puzzles I created for this newspaper, this is by far the largest. It contains 808 words and has 446 black squares. The grid comprises a 50x50 partition of squares; regular puzzles are generally 15x15. After creating crossword puzzles for this paper for the last two and a half years, this is truly my magnum opus. I am incredibly grateful for everyone who has worked on my puzzles for the last few years; crossword puzzles are an integral part of who I am and I have been glad to share that with all of you. In turn, I want to thank my dad for editing these puzzles and supporting me in this endeavor since the very beginning. If you’re interested in keeping up with my puzzles or playing any of the puzzles that have appeared in The Phoenix since I started writing for them, please visit my website at www.cruciverbalex.com.
