QUADRICRUCIFEROUS

By A. C. R.

Twenty-four unkeyed letters—but no two, and only four three-letter words and a splendid all-over interlock. Not more than average difficult, but not more than medium easy. The long words form splendid spinal clews—if you get them.

LOCKED UP TIGHT

By Gregorian

An all-over double interlock with a triply-locked center and corners. Probably considerably easier to solve than to construct. The words are weak in spots, but the construction passes the few obsoletes.
