I kept wondering if @Wendy Walker was attacking this with a pen…..as I was erasing again. Thanks PB!

My biggest problem was that I printed it out "actual size," so I could barely get the letters into the little squares, and after I did, I had a hard time reading them. (For the record, I did it about half in pen, half in pencil written over in pen.)

LOL I made that mistake - but was somehow still able to finish it without resorting to whiteout. What an amazing construction!

AMAZING puzzle. I have sent my grid to Meg for verification. One error!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Brilliant puzzle. Patrick Berry never disappoints, but even for him this was over and above! And I too did it in pen!

Wow! Fun. Took me awhile to nail down the open holes. Some errors in the top right at first.
Doing these on my iPad is like doing puzzles in pencil. Love that I can erase to my heart's content without the smudges .

I am usually amazed at how Patrick can construct his puzzles, but I thought this one was incredible! Fun solve as usual.

Jeebus is that guy good. 1/2 screen Excel, 1/2 screen downloaded PDF of the puzzle. Worked like a charm.
