- I am one of the regular constructors for the puzzle on the giant crossword wall at Eltana Bagels in Seattle, which is produced by Lone Shark Games. Previous weeks' puzzles are on the Eltana website; mine include Build Bridges, Greet Others First, and part of Teach Your Child to Swim. The puzzles are also appearing (on a later schedule) in the Seattle Jewish Times. My first puzzle is on page 12 of the March 25, 2011 issue; with more to come!
