This page features **Judges Crossword Puzzles**, No. 28—a crossword puzzle competition. The main content is a large blank crossword grid submitted by Charles Tomordy of North Tonawanda, New York. Below the puzzle is the answer grid to the previous week's Puzzle No. 27, filled with answers like "HAUNTED," "MILLION," "RUMOR," and "ROASTED." The page includes a **competition announcement**: Judge will publish one crossword puzzle weekly, paying $25 for humorous puzzles used and regular rates for others. Unsolved puzzles won't be returned without postage. The cartoonish header features playful characters reacting to crosswords, fitting Judge magazine's satirical, lighthearted tone. This represents the popular crossword puzzle craze of the early-to-mid 20th century, when these puzzles became a widespread cultural phenomenon and competitive entertainment.
