"4200" TO BE AWARDED TO 100 WINNERS IN OUR ANNUAL You can sit down and solve this puzzle right now. Everything you need is printed here. There is nothing to look up. No dictionary is needed. Get in this fascinating game by solving this puzzle now. It sharpens your wits and keeps your mind alert. And it costs so little (just the $2.00 entry fee). You get more than that value in fun and recreation. AND you may win a nice cash prize—up to $2,000.00. Every contestant will be notified of his standing within 30 days after we receive his entry. You will not have to wait and wonder for a long time as to how you stand. If (as expected) a tiebreaker will be required, you will be notified if you are tied with others. RULES 1. Solve this puzzle as you would any other crossword puzzle except that the letters you supply are determined, not by definitions, but by letter values. 2. Fill in every empty square with a letter. When completed, every series of 2 or more letters must spell a word, both across from left to right and down. Every word used in the solution must be taken from the accompanying “OFFICIAL WORD LIST” and must be spelled exactly as it is there. A word may be used more than once (no limit). 3. Black squares have no value. Using the letter values shown here, add the value of all letters in each line (both the letters already in the puzzle and those you supply) and place these line totals at the right of the puzzle as indicated. Then add up these line totals and put your Total Score in the space indicated: Add your score carefully aS any error in computing your score will disqualify your entry. An entry once sub- mitted Sees be changed. However, a contestant may send in more than one entry. see Rule 4, The object is to obtain as high a Total Score as you can, obeying all the Rules. (See Rule 7 for ties.) This is a contest of skill. There are no ‘‘tricks’ planned or allowed. 9. Anyone over 18 years of age, from the U.S. or Canada (including military personnel abroad), may enter this contest except members and employees of the sponsors, their advertising agents and their immediate families. Each entry must be accompanied by a $2.00 entry fee. This fee is to cover costs and administrative expenses. 6. A contestant may send in more than one entry, but each entry must be accompanied by the $2.00 entry fee. So if you see a chance to improve on an entry you have already sent in, you may send another. Extra entry blank sent free on request. While various members of a family may each enter the contest not more than one prize may be won by one household. 7. Ties are expected, in which case a tiebreaker will be required. It will be sent saly to those who may be tied for any of the prizes. The tiebreaker will be similar to this puzzle. It will be the same size, 11 squares each way, but with fewer letters supplied and more empty squares. The Official Word List, with more words, will also be supplied. - Seven days will be allowed for solving tiebreakers. Highest score wins highest prize for which there are ties, and so on. Each tiebreaker has its own rules and may have slight changes. lf any-ties still remain, additional tiebreakers up to 4 more may be sent to determine the winners. If any ties still remain after the 5 tiebreakers, then the full amount of the prize or prizes tied for will be awarded to each tied contestant. However, in all our previous contests, 2 tiebreakers. or less were required to determine all winners. ‘There is never any additional fee for tiebreakers. 8..
