Progressively Lipogrammatic Pangrams

◆ · Por dilly · Publicado 2024-09-10T10:13:09.560Z

Constructor's Note
Inspired by Mark Dunn's classic book Ella Minnow Pea. Each clue in this puzzled (Acrosses, then Downs) is a progressively lipogrammatic pangram, i.e. each clue uses every letter from the alphabet, but after each clue, one letter is removed from the alphabet. This was a ton of fun to make, would love to see someone else's take on it. & please forgive some awkwardly worded or overly verbose clues.

    Quite extraordinary! In the end, this is likely just as much of a great puzzle to set as it is to solve, I bet. Wow!

      Ooh, very well put! I always find hiding some of the letters to be rather difficult, and I love Quiznos and Jack-in-the-Box.

      Huzzah on your very kooky, quixotic, but flawless accomplishment by my judgement. (Now 25 more comments to leave!)
