November 2013 MMMM
10 Nov
The tenth contest puzzle has been posted. You can solve it here. The meta for this puzzle is a song by Fleetwood Mac.
When you’ve solved the meta, enter your solution at the bottom of this page. You can only send in one entry. Those who submit correct answers will be put in a random drawing to win a large MMMM coffee mug. The deadline for sending in your answer is Sunday, November 10 at 11pm Eastern Time. The solution will be posted Tuesday, November 12.
Note: This puzzle is the second to last of this year’s contest and the meta is pretty hard. I will post a hint here Sunday at 11pm (after the contest closes), in case you haven’t gotten the meta and want a little help. You can also learn the answer by heading over to Crossword Fiend after the deadline.
Special announcement: The 2013 Crossword Construction Contest has been announced. Details can be found here. I have a few good entries already but am looking for more!
As a reminder, there is a “mega-meta” hidden in the contest puzzles. Each puzzle has a clue related to the mega-meta, a rock-and-roll hit from the past 40 years. If you think you know the mega-meta, send in your guess using the mega-meta form at the right of the page.
Seven solvers have already guessed the mega-meta and have earned bonus points for guessing it early. Bonus points are still available for those that guess the mega-meta before the last puzzle of the year is released.
Scoring for the year and rules for the grand prize drawing are explained in the Contest Rules section.
Have fun!
