For anyone who would like to do the Almost Daily Puzzler or see answers

Attached below is the recent crossword puzzle from the Almost Daily Puzzler. Some folks have asked if they could do it now that the contest is over. I have also included, in a separate file, the clues with answers for what it is worth.

Thanks Curtis. Now I'll have a reason to be frustrated.

It was a fun puzzle, Curtis. Thanks for running the contest.

I was one of those who never submitted a completed entry. I spent about 2 hours on it & was about 1/3 of the way through before I finally realized that the topic was pen kit names -- how lame is that?

Once that light bulb clicked on, I had the puzzle nearly complete within the next hour but 2 clues had me stumped: the antler & the danged cat. I finally gave up & got back to it the next day - I finally figured them out, but by that time I decided that there was no point in submitting an entry.

Maybe if I turned something other than slimlines, it might have been easier ;-)

Don't feel bad. One of the winners had a hard time with those two as well!

Figuring out the theme really helped!
