OK guys, something a little different this month. We have been doing a lot of photography and drawing, this month you can put the crayons and cameras away.

This month you are going to create a Scion-themed crossword puzzle. The end result should look like an empty set of boxes and a list of clues. The puzzle words and clues are entirely up to you and can contain Scion-related words, general automotive words, even ScionLife member names! Anything!

The easiest way to go about this will be to brainstorm a list of words then, on graphpaper or in MS Excel, start putting your words together like a game of Scrabble. When you are done you can then draw boxes around them and think up clues.... then erase the letters and you will be left with a crossword puzzle.

You can send your results via email (scan or create digital) or you can fax your results to 503-296-2202.

I think the clue should be changed to "The Scion Life Member with the best Chest Hair" or "The Scion Life Member who officially rules." You gotta see the pic to understand. :rofl:

How do you guys do the crossword puzzle i mean what do u use to make 1 ? ..........

I do it in Excel and just resize the columns. Then I paste it into Word and send that file.

:silly:

im working on a monster x-word puzzle on every word i could find or think of with scion life, scions etc..

the puzzle is big, right now i had to resize it to about 2000x 2000 pixels to be readable, im putting the finishing touched up on it, ive been working on it since about 11 am today andhopefully i can get it done before tonight, if not ill try to finish it later, ive been working about 7 hours straight, on it, most of the time was gathering the keyword list. count on this not bien small, i dont want to give the exact word count out because i dont want to be like the chrystler building, everytime they released a scheduled hight thier competition raised thier height.

just plan on it bieng over 75, easy :)

i just emailed my entry in. hope you get it, :)

jk good stuff.. now a prize for the first person who can finish the puzzle.. :bow:

jk, who am i to give out prizes??? :lalala:

Just remember, the "most" does not always equal the "best" ... it has to look good and have good clues too. :P

You had me worried there for a while Darren... I knew I sent it in in time, but it wasn't up when I went to bed... :)

CLOSED, choosing the winner now. Will announce in the next couple of days.

/me checks his watch...

:wink:

It took me longer than planned to do all of the puzzles, winner announced Tuesday afternoon!

Darren

Well, it wasn't an easy decision between ack154 and daewootech. These guys definitely came up with the biggest and most complex crossword puzzles. But we can only have one winner.

And (on behalf of Darren) the winner is...

ack154! Congrats! Fortunately for you your winning submission came in just under the wire.
