Welcome to day five of our Valentine’s Day 2017 Crossword Game. It’s a crossword without clues. We started with two letters. Each day we’ve been adding more letters. To celebrate the fifth day of the game, we’ve added not two but five new letter clues for you. We’ll keep adding letters until someone submits all of the correct words. Think of it like one of the games they play on Wheel of Fortune. The subject is Valentine’s Day and its history, especially as it relates to the 19th century.

Hyphens represent that the answer is more than one word, such as in a short phrase or proper name.

The first person to submit all 43 of the correct words at one time wins a $50 gift certificate. The next two people who submit all of the correct words win a $25 gift certificate.

Clues Day Five – 5 new clues to celebrate our fifth day!

The letters revealed in the puzzle so far are b, d, f, g, h, i, k, m, p, v, w, y, and z. We’re trying to keep the playing field as level as possible when it comes to new clues. New clues will be uploaded as a new blog post each day at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) in the USA .
