jg1 - just gridding #1 - crowdsource the clues!

-

 This is our first attempt at a "Just Gridding!", in which we post a grid and crowd-source the clues. We are still figuring out the best system for crowdsourcing clues, but here's what we've got so far:

  1. Click this link for a pdf image of the grid (on a separate page so it's not spoiled for people who are curious but don't actually want to participate)
  2. Click this link to access the Google Form where you can submit fun/creative/"indie-only" clues for up to five entries (feel free to do this multiple times if you have more than five you'd like to submit!)
  3. Rachel + clr will review submissions a week from today (5/26) and pick out a set of potential clues
  4. At this point, we'll either (a) finalize the puzzle and publish it with the clues we like or (b) livestream a conversation in which we discuss clue choices and make small edits (like Brooke and Adam did a few months ago), and *then* finalize and publish it. (If you have a preference here, let us know!). 
Let's see how this goes!!!

These Puzzles Fund Abortion Too — "Too Soon" by Brooke Husic

-
Healthline.com says the following about what to expect in week five and six of pregnancy: “You might have PMS-like symptoms such as fatigue, sore breasts, and morning sickness.” If I went five weeks without a period and experienced PMS symptoms, I would think it was … PMS. Pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks: six weeks is 15% of the way along. To understand how realistic it would be to attribute symptoms of possible pregnancy to actual pregnancy, you may solve the following crossword, in which only the first 15% of each clue is provided. The outcome of Roe v. Wade divided guidance on abortions into three categories for each of the three trimesters. In the first trimester, abortion may not be prohibited; in the second trimester, some so-called reasonable regulations may be taken; in the third trimester, abortions may be banned. The third trimester starts at week 27, which is 67.5% of the way to 40 weeks. Here is the same crossword puzzle with 67.5% of each clue provided. Abortion bans are...
