Kaidoku #74 & Puzzle Pointers
Kaidoku #74 (PDF) | Java applet | JPZ (get Crossword Solver)Do we really need another Puzzle Pointers page? After all, we’ve already got Will’s and Ephraim’s. Not to mention the uber-convenient CrosswordButler. But I’ve created the new puzzle pointers badge you see above that offers a few advantages:
- • It offers direct links to the BEQ and Daily Beast crosswords
- • It’s in a nice, readable format where all the day’s puzzles are bunched together
- • It’s embeddable to your own home page! It looks great on MyYahoo or iGoogle, and as you can see above, it works on other pages as well.
- • It’s in a nice, readable format where all the day’s puzzles are bunched together
I really enjoyed Matt’s Kaidoku today. I think you will too. Maybe you should start with a Q-hunt? Happy President’s Day! See you Thursday.

good puzzle, although i didn’t Q-hunt it. my now-standard “identify the vowels” tack worked just fine, once i guessed on the identities of O and E and then took a flier on JAMBOREE. ironically, the other word i used to figure out O and E was ROOKIE, and the K was my last letter in the grid.
TELLTALE has a nice letter combo. it’s almost self-descriptive.
