NOT SO EASY AS IT LOOKS

By M. B. Gillung

Some of these concoctions of short words are terrors. This one is by no means the most difficult puzzle in the book, but it has places where you may have to stop for a moment’s thought.

If the constructor felt like Weary Willie after filling in this criss-cross pattern, which has only twelve unkeyed letters, there are bound to be a lot of W. W.’s among those who try to solve it.
