Was messing around with a Crossword Puzzle maker. Couldn’t really get it to perform, so I tried a Wordfind instead…

Coolio! I found me! Will have to print this out and finish the whole thing.
So where did you find this? I have several Search and Find puzzles in my current WIP and am embarrased to say it never even occurred to me to use software. Could save me lots of trouble … and probably result in better puzzles, too!!
I was using Crossword Compiler 8, which was a demo that was EXTREMELY disabled. Maybe buying it would have gotten the Crossword maker to work better.

I found the mystery bonus word! I won’t give it away, don’t worry. But it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who’s been reading your blog for any time at all!!!
Yay I found me and a bunch of my blog friends! I’m still looking for the mystery word. This was a fun lunch break game. Thanks!
I found the mystery word! One hint for the masses: it’s not “poop.”
