The plan was: pick one or more of the grids below that appeals to you, figure out a way to fill in the xxxx's, and play your grid(s) for real or virtually (by anonymous browser or Moredle) on Monday the 27th. Oh: and have fun!
ACROSTAPALOOZA!
Some of us continued the acrostic-ishy play all week. Recorded below are all the acrostic plays I saw during this week.
