-H----, IRIS It's going to be fun!

Count me in. I enjoyed it last year.

yipeee .... I am in too !



(looks like there are many letters to this solution! )

First two questions answered ...

Hey Iris, are Umlauts one or two letters?
i.e. are they ü or ue ????

Have FUN everyone!

Hi Margret,

please write umlauts like in a crossword puzzle:

Ü = UE
Ä = AE
Ö = OE

For example:
Lightship VÄSTRA BANKEN = VAESTRA BANKEN

Have fun!
Iris

So, now we need to reming people to USE those like that.

Iris is German, so she would spell the names of things, towns etc. the German way

Enough hints?

Wow, this will be a long solution ...
both the German and the English ones are over 100 letters already ...
Phew!!

Hey, who else is playing?
Would love to know who I am up against

I'll try to give it a go...I've got all 5 questions answered so far...

How are you all keeping track of your answers?

I have just had to extend my grid again
On it I count out the numbers and write the letters under the number as instructed in the clues.

But the solution keeps getting longer with every clue Wow, I am so curious ...

I just have it written down on a piece of paper...
I can tell you that I am getting somewhat confused as my answers have the same letter used again in a different area of the solution. I'm guessing that the answers will have letters that will repeat themselves. Does your Day 3 use the same letter as Day 6?

I enjoyed putting the puzzle together on Day 6!

This person put alot of time in designing this Advent Calendar Quiz...very challenging!
