Jigsaw with Juff!
Hello, puzzlers! Juff and I agreed that we don’t generally enjoy alphabet jigsaws*... so we decided to make one for you!
*An alphabet jigsaw has 26 answers, each starting with a different letter of the alphabet, and you must figure out where the answers fit in the grid.
But wait! We made different versions so you can choose your difficulty level; these are roughly in increasing order of difficulty.
If you just want to solve a regular cryptic (with enumerations and locations of the answers given as normal) that just so happens to have one answer per letter of the alphabet, click here (pdf).
However, if you want to try an alphabet jigsaw that gives you…
…the length and starting letter of each answer, click here (pdf).
…the length of each answer, with clues alphabetized by their answer’s starting letter within each length, click here (pdf). (If you don't know which version to pick, this is the one we recommend.)
…the starting letter of each answer (but not the length), click here (pdf).
…neither the length nor the starting letter of any answers, click here (pdf).
Many thanks to our testers, JMbrow29, probablyapocryphal, Tui, Pixlate, skaldskaparmal, and Jack H. Keynes! They're all fantastic solvers, streamers, and setters (in various combinations).
Let us know which version you chose and how you got on!
