The Council of #wikipedia-en hereby presents to the Knights of the Signpost their answers to the ancient, mythical crossword puzzle! (WARNING: DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS.) —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 02:17, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This was quite fun, thanks! The across were pretty easy while the down ones were tough. 25 was pretty esoteric. Also, I think you guys forgot #14. Opencooper (talk) 10:35, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

HA! You got it! I'll see if I can come up with a prize. Thanks for participating. Best Regards, Barbara ✐ ✉ 17:10, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent job! I really like this puzzle. The Signpost should run more of these. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:13, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the most hilarious humour issue I've ever read, especially 23 down. I will do it tonight. L293D (☎ • ✎) 15:43, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is pretty funny all by itself. I have a better idea-I'll show someone else how to do it and then they can become the crossword puzzle editor. I will help for a couple months and then this new editor can have some of the fun that I have. Barbara ✐ ✉ 23:29, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
