We are very sorry that this was necessary, but there are some corrections needed in the printed copies. The virtual calendar has been corrected and all individual puzzles published on the 2025 puzzles page will be correct. (If you downloaded a virtual calendar before 7 December 2024, you can download the latest version using your original link.) Reminders of corrections will also be included in the newsletter each month under the Upcoming deadlines section.
January
The directions in the graphic clue don’t match those in the written one. Please follow the directions as given for Day 8.
February
There are four incorrect letter counts. The correct counts are:
Day 11: (5,4); Day 14: (4,4); Day 27: (6); Day 29: (6,4)
July
Cell numbers are incorrect in five clues. Those affected are:
Days 1 & 28: 46 should be 45
Days 2 & 3: 47 should be 46
Day 4: 48 should be 47.
December
The letter count for Day 1 should be (5).
In the April puzzle I could find no clue to 2down (or possibly 25up), which leaves me with three blank cells.
I found the same. 2d is the more likely missing clue. If so, the answer seems clear. No doubt a new correction will appear in April.
