This is hard... making the crossword I mean. Maybe it's easier for those whose native language is English.

Anyway, wanted to ask what does this mean:
  • A maximum of 1 proper noun/place.


What's the difference between noun and proper noun?


Also, a word (or more exactly, abbrevation) CD is not allowed to use, right?

Another edit... is auf considered as a proper word? My whole crossword depends on it and though it worked in dictionary.com then I'm not sure if I can use it in this tournament... I need somebody to check my crossword :cry:

Also, are we allowed to use people's names?

a proper noun is a capitalized noun...i.e. a person's name, a place, a brand

Yes JOIN!!! I have to stress it!

But do you gameplayer, want to join?

auf I will allow it since it actually has an english language word (but I have never used it before).

CD is not allowed, but you can't even fit it in the crossword so it doesn't matter. BTW, it's an Acronym.

Yeah, I used many words that I have never heard of but as dictionary.com allowed it then I used it.

CDs is a word but I left out as it is not allowed :P


I got mine ready :D It's fun, come people, join! \:D/
