Received this message when I did the puzzle this morning (going to work a little late today due to snow)
"Award Received!
You have received 275 credits!
In celebration of American Crossword Puzzle Week, you have received a Crossword Block!"
I saw elsewhere that first place winner also wins a crossword suit but I'll never get that :rofl1:
Not sure how long this will run folks! No idea if you can get a block each time you finish a puzzle once you've gotten a block....guessing we'll find that out later today.
If you don't have alot of time check the spoilers for this mornings- sorry I can't do pics though --challenged :notme: I am.

I just finished the word scramble SEARCH and got only credits. So no block there for me.
edit: fixed my oops of forgetting word "search."
-
OK, confused: you posted that you got the block, then you posted that you finished the scramble and got nothing....and we've been doing the puzzles all week and have not gotten anything like this...did this just start today??
Which is it???
EDIT: nvm; I think I get it now; went to -cough- different place...ROFL

Hey! I only had 1 cup of coffee when I posted :crazy: Sorry for the confusion I caused :bighug:
Crosswords (scrambled and regular guessing) give the crossword block
word search gives credits only (i did it just to see if they gave any blocks but they didn't for me)
-
Please let me know if this is an entire weekend thing or just today as I won't be here all day today and already missed this mornings crossword. Thanks for the heads up Fun! Hugz! :bighug:

ETA: Okay, so does that mean that the Elegant Flower Lamp is done?? After only 10 Days as a prize. When all other lamps had a longer run than that! :td:
Not cool VFK, not cool. Haven't had any luck in winning one yet, and of course they pull it. :hmm:
-
It does say "week" so perhaps the purple flower lamp will be back after the week is up. Who knows with vfk though :??:
-
I've sent 2 Help Reports asking if the Flower Lamp will be back after this week... and of course no response, as usual. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :uhuh2:
So, if anyone else is lucky enough to be granted an answer from VFK on the question of the Flower Lamp, please post. Thank you :hug:

I'm right there with ya, Astro. I LOVED the flower lamp. Definitely not long enough a release. >:[
Flamanar...praying that they will be back after the week is over... :cry:

Moral of the story ... maybe so many players trying for the puzzle outfits makes the odds of winning not so terrible! :laugh2:
I won an extra girls puzzle outfit, and traded it for my darn Flower Lamp that I'm missing. :dance2: All is well - Yay!! :2thunbs:
Still would like to know if the lamp is returning though. :hmmmm:

LOL. Congrats and well done on the trade, Astro! Glad you got one :)
We must find out if the flower lamp will return or not, though. No doubt!

Wow, new puzzle fun! Astro, you look like a woman with a "checkered" past in that Crossword outfit... :lolg:
I also hope the flower lamp comes back, but I have to say, these crossword cubes are cool. I really like the fact that you can also win cubes and randomly the crossword clothing by completing the word search. Sometimes I find the word search puzzles more relaxing.
Thanks for posting the information from the homepage Astro, and for the initial heads up Fun! You guys are awesome! :bighug:
-
I'm upset on the flower lamp, but what to do... never got it. I hope I get two outfits in order to trade for it, but only gotten credits and blocks so far.
-
CONFIRMED by Enigma. The outfits and blocks only are available for this week!!!!!

The homepage eluded to that. Did she mention anything about the flower lamps coming back?

No Flame, she said she did not know.
Still outfitless and lampless here... I have tried 10 today, cannot do more as my hands hurt... and only got credits.... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
-
So I get this straight, you have to get 1st place to win the outfit? If so I guess that won't be me since I won't be on at the times most likely when they start plus I'm just awful at crosswords.
Congrats though to those of you who have won the outfits!!!! :clap1:
-
No Aurora, you can still spin even after the first people have won and still win the outfit. :) GL!!!

Oh, what was I thinking??? Of course I never seem to hit the Win but I guess at least there is some chance now for me. Thank you

You can get the outfit (given out randomly) from doing the word search puzzles also. Now I have played both crossword and word search each day.. so it took a while, but I just got two girls outfits yesterday, both off the word search puzzles. It was sweet to be able to gift the extra. (If I get another outfit, and you still don't have one - it's yours.) ;)

I just completed the afternoon crossword puzzle, and wonder of wonders, the spinner landed on Win! I got just a one line comment telling me that I had won a crossword outfit - girls. I was excited as I could give that one to Aurora.
However, it is not in my inventory. I tried refresh, I logged out and back in - nothing. :mad: (Yes I am wearing one of the outfits, the second one I got went to Pixie - so I KNOW they can be traded, and it should be in clothing inventory.) I even checked furniture inventory as you never know with VFK. :cpusmash:

Hi Duck.i. Congrats! :)
You won't see it in inventory. You will only see it when trading. If you have a clone, open a trade request with them, then check your inventory. You should see it, then. If not, help report. If you don't have a clone, let me know and I'll open a trade request with you so you can check your inventory. LMK ;)

Thanks for the heads up, Fun!
While I'm gonna miss the blocks (wasn't big on the outfits), I'm NOT gonna miss spinning forever to get them. My shoulder still hurts! BLECH! Farewell puzzle fever! :dance2:
Sadly, I heard the flower lamps did not return. 'Twas a truly woot lamp, which was discontinued before its prime :'(
