Description

Why solve regular crosswords when Octopus puzzles are eight times more fun This crazy variant features 8x8 grids with words running in eight directions, and no black squares to show where words end. Start at square 1, write the answer so it goes toward square 2, and so on. Warning: it might go past the next number. Solvers will have their tentacles full completing these!
