Puzzle #3 is now ready. This is a Word Search Puzzle - its theme is SHOP TIME.
Your challenge is to find the words hidden in the mass of letters that fit the theme.
Here are the rules:
1. General IAP Contest rules and the General BASH Puzzle rules apply
2. You must send your entry to iap.puzzles@gmail.com
3. One entry per person and one guess per entry. Be sure to put Puzzle #3 in the Subject Line and include your real name and IAP user name in the subject text along with your list of words.
4. There are somewhere between 25-30 words in the puzzle that fit the theme. Get at least 20 of them right and you will earn 1 point toward the overall Puzzle Prize total. Find them all and you will earn 2 points. Part of the challenge of earning 2 points is that you don't know exactly how many words are in the puzzle.
5. Please ALPHABETIZE your list of words!
6. Banter is expected and encouraged, but DO NOT post any hints or real guesses in this thread.
7. This contest will close at noon Central Time on Tuesday Feb 11
8. In addition to earning a point or two toward the grand prizes, each correct entry will also be entered into a drawing for one or more individual puzzle prizes
HINTS and NOTES:
1. All words that fit the theme are at least 4 letters long. Do not include any words with less than 4 letters in your entry.
2. All words are singular
3. Words may be arranged horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and may be spelled forward or backward.
4. There may be some valid random words in the puzzle. You will not get any credit, nor will you be penalized, for finding any such words that do not fit the theme of this puzzle. You can include them in your entry if you aren't certain, they just won't get counted.
5. I suggest that you copy the puzzle to your computer and print it out, then mark it up however you want to find the words. Do not send in your marked up puzzles - just send an alphabetized list of the words you find.
Good luck, have fun, and let me know if you have any questions
