How to Play

CROSSWORD: Scratch all of the CALL LETTERS; then scratch all of the letters found in the CROSSWORD puzzle which match the CALL LETTERS. (For example, if you find the letter A in the CALL LETTERS, scratch every letter A in the CROSSWORD puzzle.) If you have scratched at least 3 complete “words” in the CROSSWORD puzzle, you win the corresponding prize found in the PRIZE LEGEND. Only one prize may be claimed per ticket within the CROSSWORD puzzle.

BONUS WORD DOUBLER: Match all five (5) letters in the BONUS WORD DOUBLER play area using the CALL LETTERS and instantly double your prize won in the main crossword puzzle. The BONUS WORD DOUBLER word will not be considered as a word in playing the main puzzle.

MYSTERY BOX: Scratch the MYSTERY BOX play area. Find any prize, win that prize. If you find a “    “ symbol, win a free $3 Crossword ticket.

ADDITIONAL CROSSWORD DETAILS:

✎ Letters combined to form a complete “word” must appear in an unbroken horizontal or vertical sequence of letters within the CROSSWORD puzzle from top to bottom or left to right.

✎ Only letters within the CROSSWORD puzzle that are matched with the CALLLETTERS can be used to form a complete “word”.

✎ In the CROSSWORD puzzle, every lettered square within an unbroken horizontal or vertical sequence must be matched with a CALL LETTER to be considered a complete “word”. Words within words are not eligible for a prize. (For example, if in the CROSSWORD puzzle there is a sequence as shown to the left where all the CALL LETTERS S, T, O, N, E must be revealed in order for the to count as one “word”. TON, ONE or any other portion of the sequence would not count as a complete “word”.)

✎ A complete “word” must contain at least three letters.
