I was going to have people post answers but it's fairly large and could take some time to finish so I'll give it to you to complete at your leisure. It's a crossword puzzle with a logic element added! The answer word for a clue may be pretty obvious but you have to figure out what squares you have to put the letters into because you can have up to three letters in one square. Example: Let's say that the clue is "puzzle (6)" but there are only four squares available. Assuming that the answer word may be "enigma" the pattern for the letters could be en-i-g-ma or eni-g-m-a or e-nig-m-a or....you get the picture. Work back and forth between the across and down clues to logically fill in the puzzle. If you need a little nudge you can post here or PM me and I'll give you a hint. See the puzzle Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

"=" represents blank squares

I question #1 down. It's the word I wound up with by filling in the squares around it. I did an internet search and couldn't find it as a definition for the clue word.

The puzzle was fun, not easy, and I think I wouldn't want to do another like it for some time.

Wouldn't that jar your mustard!

Jema, here's and entry from Oxford Dictionary: Scalp: n. & v. --n. 1 the skin covering the top of the head, with the hair etc. attached. 2 a hist. the scalp of an enemy cut or torn away as a trophy by an American Indian. b a trophy or symbol of triumph, conquest, etc. 3 Sc. a bare rock projecting above water etc. --v.tr. 1 hist. take the scalp of (an enemy). 2 criticize savagely. 3 US defeat; humiliate. 4 US colloq. resell (shares, tickets, etc.) at a high or quick profit. Derivatives: scalpless adj. Etymology: ME, prob. of Scand. orig. The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

I'm sure that making this puzzle wasn't easy. Hats off to the creator! I feel for you, Remi. Posting an answer for this puzzle is pretty difficult as can be seen by Jema's post which is a puzzle all of it's own. Nice solve, Jema. You're always welcome, Cheryl. If I come across another one I'll post it too. This one came out of a 1971 Puzzle Bonanza book. Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?
