1ACross is happy to present “Cyclical”, from “Eclogue”, exclusively for our solvers. Answers can be submitted by anyone who wishes to participate, on or before EOD 26th February 2020. All those who submit entries have a chance to enter our new leader board for 2020. Annotations for the puzzle will be discussed at 1ACross on Thursday, February 27, 2020. Happy solving.
NOTE FROM ECLOGUE  Solutions to clues are entered cyclically in their respective rows and columns. For example, if 8 across started in the 8th column, it would proceed across to the right hand side for the first eight letters till the last column and then continue from the first column on the left hand side of the same row for the last seven letters. Solvers must insert the solutions where they will fit together using this method throughout. It may help to know that no entry starts at its numbered square. When complete, solvers must discover the hidden NINA within.
Here’s the link to the Interactive Version. If you need it, you can get a PDF, by opening the grid and then choosing File, Print and Print to PDF
