This update to the Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy initiative is to announce the Anacrossword Twenty-Pack Two!
Artwork by Tintinabar
This pack contains 20 Anacrossword puzzles for the price of US$10, and is, as the title suggests, a sequel to the Anacrossword Twenty-Pack. Anacrosswords are a recurring puzzle on this blog, inspired by a concept seen in Games magazine eons ago. Combining crosswords and acrostic puzzles, when the letters in the crossword are transferred to the correspondingly-numbered blanks, each of these puzzles yields a quote followed by its author (as opposed to the ones on this blog which yield a clue to a final answer). Each puzzle comes in a hard version (in which the solver must determine where each answer goes, as well as where spaces and punctuation belong in the quote) and an easy version (in which these things are given to the solver). Puzzles vary in size from 51 blanks in the smallest puzzle to 168 blanks in the largest puzzle.
As a reminder, this is a charity initiative.

(It must be a new donation, dated no earlier than one day before you email me.) Click here for a list of all of the puzzle packs in this initiative. Happy solving!
