Section Eight #4 - PDF (Harder) | PDF (Easier) | JPZ (Harder) | JPZ (Easier) | Solution (PDF)
I'm excited to let a guest constructor take over the reins this month! Roger Barkan has recently caught the bug that is Section Eight constructing and this puzzle is one result of Roger's dedicated efforts. We both love this format which was developed by the great Patrick Berry. Roger also wrote another of these recently published at Outside the Box, so be sure to check that out as well.
Like the other Section Eights featured here, such as last year's S8 Puzzle Pack, there are two difficulty levels offered. The Harder version is how Section Eights are presented in the Wall Street Journal presents them, with the Ring directions and enumerations not given except for the outermost Ring. The Easier version discloses the directions and enumerations of all Rings, so do check out that version if you're new to the format. There are PDFs for print-and-play solvers as well as JPZ files for digital solving. To solve online, download the JPZ file and then head over to Crossword Nexus and upload. Either way you solve, hope you enjoy!
Good news on the Rows Garden front: Juliana Tringali Golden at Stay Golden Puzzles is launching a regular series of original RGs for sale. Juliana writes that she's planning to release a new puzzle every weekend. Like Juliana's earlier "Gardening Lesson" suite of RGs, these puzzles are top-notch quality, so scoop these puzzles up if you haven't already.
Over here, work on the fourth Six Pack of the year is ongoing and on track for a December release. So stay tuned, and as always, happy solving!
