    Can someone please explain this crossword to me? Thanks.

    (It's in a local magazine to win a meal locally ;) )

    AA-ZZ prize crossword

    Fill in the grid with the correct answers, it should contain at least two of every letter.

    So, I think it means it must contain at least two of every letter :confused:

    Then I see Alien spaceship (3)
    I think the answer is UFO but UFO does NOT contain two of every letter. It is not UUFFOO but UFO :confused:

    Then I see Barrel of beer (3) and I think it is KEG but keg does not contain two of every letter :confused:

    Then I see TV sci-fi show with ghosts and aliens (1-5) and I think it is X-files but X-files does not contain ............... you get my drift.

    Can someone kindly explain the crossword please? Thank you.

    I think it means that the whole crossword (not each individual answer) should have 2 of each letter, that means there must be at least 52 blank squares to fill in. That's what it sounds like to me :confused:

    The way i read it the whole crossword should have 2 of each letter, so say if clue 1 had D as an answer
    another clue would also have D in the answer xxx
    unless im totally off track xxx

    My guess would be that there are at least two of every letter in the entire grid? :confused:

    Thanks that reminds me, there's a spot the difference to win a meal in a local free mag................
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)

    I think they mean once you've finished the whole crossword the grid as a whole will have 2 of each letter in it :)

    I was wondering whether what you put as your name affects your chances of winning....is there a chance that you'd probably not win.or be chosen winnee if you u use your initials instead of your name...eg A One, instead of Any One...or P Panther instead of Pink Panther...

    ADDED:
    reminds me, anyone know what happened to Pink Panther/opodo comp? that did look nice...
    EDIT: had a look on their site, says they had the draw yest..so probably find out next week I guess
    also, how much percent of comps do you think are fake? by which I mean, not realy awarding prizes..or just data gathering/marketing purpose ones..IYKWIM...
    happy to be back after about 8 year hiatus...!
