Welcome to day six 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. Today we are adding four letters to the puzzle. 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 Six – 4 new letters!
Day six reveals the letters ‘c,’ ‘l,’ ‘s,’ and ‘i’ on the puzzle. More of the words may be starting to come into focus. The letters revealed in the puzzle so far are b, d, f, g, h, e, 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 . Adding new clues at this time of day should ensure waking hours for most of our customers around the world. Today’s image contains the letters the make up the clues for day six.
