Well, I’ve tossed my hat in as an occasional submitter (kinda like a correspondent I guess)

A friend of mine introduced me to this site about a month ago, and I’ve spent waaay too much time on it :-)

If you like jigsaw puzzles, this is a pretty cool site.

The links will tend to be to interesting facts or fun videos, while the puzzles will frequently be based in logic or maths (gasp!). So, without further adieu…

Hypercrosslessness explained

Hypercrosslessness explained

There are some organizational changes taking place at Tanga that affect Daily Fun. One of the short term casualties is the daily Hypercross puzzle. There are lots of Hypercross puzzles in the archives if you haven’t done them all.

The Tanga Times will also not run every day.

The One Word Warmup and One Word Wonder puzzles will continue to appear daily.

Sorry for the chaos!
