What happened to crossword hints – letter, word, and shaded square options?
To better replicate the experience of solving a crossword in its traditional print format, and to level the playing field with this competition puzzle, we have made some modifications to the hints menu in this new puzzle.
— UPDATE JULY 9, 2014 —
In response to your feedback, we have implemented a change whereby correct letters/words are now highlighted in green. This allows easy identification of errors, enabling you to make necessary corrections before being automatically directed, upon completion, to the competition registration page. We hope this addresses your concerns.
<h3Where’s the Competition Entry Form?
Should the comp entry screen fail to appear following input of the last letter in the grid, it’s likely you’ve made a boo-boo and will need to revisit some of the clues and answers you’ve provided. Look for letters or boxes within the grid NOT highlighted in green.
If you suspect a technical glitch or gremlin is preventing you from completing the puzzle, we recommend you take a screenshot by pressing your Ctrl + ‘Prt Scr’ buttons simultaneously (instructions relate to Windows Users only. Check documentation online for Mac and other devices) and paste the result into an email directed to our online editor: webmaster@lovattsmedia.com. We promise to get back to you asap during business hours with a response and to notify you we’ve submitted your competition entry on your behalf.
