2nd Annual Pikes Peak Library District Crossword Challenge

Pikes Peak Library District is pleased to announce its 2nd Annual Crossword Challenge, featuring unpublished New York Times puzzles. This year we will meet in PPLD’s state-of-the-art Venue @ 21c, located at the new Library 21c, 1175 Chapel Hills Dr.

After the 100th anniversary of the crossword puzzle in 2013, a new generation of solvers discovered the rich variety and satisfying challenge of this enduring form of entertainment. Local puzzle maker Jim Jenista heads up this morning of competitive crossword puzzles.  PPLD will award prizes and offer light refreshments.

Check in up to 30 minutes before the contest begins. There will be two rounds of 20 minutes each, solving a Monday to Wednesday level NYT puzzle. The two winners from these rounds will advance to a final playoff round, solving a Thursday level NYT puzzle.

The event is free but limited to 50 people. Register online at PPLD.org, or call any PPLD library facility.
