Puzzle Time!
Hello and welcome to Chuck Greenia’s Special Crossword Puzzle for Shut-Ins, 2020 Edition!
NOTE: You can print this out from here if you want, but if you’d like me to email you a version in Microsoft Word that you can either print or fill in on your computer screen, let me know your email address and I’ll be happy to send it to you.
I suspect that this one will be a tad harder to solve than most of the puzzles I’ve sent out in recent years - but then again, many of us have a little more free time these days, so I hope you’ll give it a fair shot. The solution will be posted in this journal on June 1st. If you simply must have it before then, let me know and I can send it to you. I hope you’re all doing well and that solving this puzzle is the most pressing issue on your plate at the moment. But even if there are more serious matters demanding your attention these days, I hope this puzzle will represent a welcome diversion!
