The Crossword Puzzle #16
 

If you'd like to play along, these are the instructions and the rules:

I will give the number and direction of the clue (written as A1. means "1 across") as well as how many letters and if any are filled in from previous guesses.

I will tell you the size of the puzzle (dimensions).

Each line begins with the number of the first across clue so you can see where the clues go (sometimes this helps).

No moronic, idiotic, or juvenile guesses. This is a real crossword puzzle. These types of answers will get deleted with no notice.

Also, repeat guesses will be deleted or edited with no notice. Check to see if someone already guessed. No need for 5 people saying "A62. STONE".

No SPAMMING. If you think of another answer and just posted one... EDIT your post (you can do that by clicking the "edit" button inside your post).

Please give others a chance to answer. Limit your answers to at most 3 solutions in a turn. Let others have a chance to play. Any more than 3 solutions in your turn will be edited out. I'm glad we have so many smart cookies here, but it's no fun if you answer all the clues in one post leaving nothing for anyone else to answer.

One last thing before we begin... PATIENCE. I do not sit in front of this screen 24 hrs/day 7days/week. So I update the puzzle when I get a chance.

Let's get started:


Our next crossword puzzle is 15 x 15.
