Try our American-style crossword puzzle No 3: PO ...

This is the third puzzle that tries to offer US-style crosswords with UK-friendly clues and references. There’s some background here, and the previous puzzles are And We’re Off! and Cheers!

Puzzle #3 is called PO ... and you can download it in digital or in printable form.

Those reminders again:

• the entries contain fragments of phrases as well as “dictionary words”
  

• an abbreviation in a clue indicates that the entry is an abbreviation

• .puz files can be opened in Crossword Solver or Across Lite – solvers who don’t fancy that should use the print version

• where there are definitions, they are more ambiguous than UK quicks, but hopefully all fair, especially in combination with checking letters

You’ve got Christmas to work on this one, so the possibilities offered by checking letters will probably be as much help as the actual clues.

Feedback remains key to the process, your own puzzles are welcome and the answers can be seen in the software or in this PDF.
