X-Tra X-Words
This puzzle was created as part of a Phoenix Rising team challenge that required the same letter to fill all four corners of the grid. This is a Tier 3 puzzle, meaning that the corner letter must have a "Scrabble" value of more than 5 points. I decided to take this one to a new level by using the letter X, not just in the four corners, but more than 20 times... and this all had to be done in an X shaped grid. Best of luck. |
