Crossword Brain Game Clue #4


Your last clue was that the letter “S” occurs in all three words of the Secret Code Crossword Puzzle. Your next clue is: No other letter is repeated in all three words (but three other letters repeat in two words).

Remember: Solving the Secret Code Crossword Puzzle Brain Game means you get to enter your name in the drawing to win a free copy of Around the Writer’s Block or other prizes at the Book Launch party on August 4.

There will be different brain games at the party with more chances to win and have fun!

You can play the other two Secret Code Brain Games at the AWB Facebook Page and in upcoming issues of my Imagination InkLinks creativity newsletter. Solve one secret code and your name is entered once; solve two codes and your name will be entered twice; solve all three and your name will be entered three times.

Every time you fill a Brain Card (you’ll score points by winning brain games at the party, being one of my students or coaching clients, subscribing to this blog, etc.), your name is entered for the drawings again. (There’s no limit to how many times you can enter the drawing. You don’t have to be present to win. If you can’t make it to the party, just email the secret codes to me by August 3 and I’ll enter your name.)

Summary of the clues you’ve received so far:

  1. The first word in the three-word phrase is 1 Across, the second word in the phrase is 2 Down and the third word is 3 Across just as it’s shown here.
  2. 1 Across includes 4 out the 5 vowels in English (a, e, i, o, u).
  3. Every word contains the letter “S”.
  4. No other letter is repeated in all three words (but three other letters repeat in two words)

Be sure you’re subscribed to get the rest of the clues!
