Thanks a lot, I will copy them right away and keep up to date. See you in the next puzzle, I take it! ;)

Just learned something new - that I can't edit a post and attach a file, but here is a list of the previous used puzzles, which Fuzzy was so kind to post. I've put them in a Word. txt. one after the other, that should make it easy to keep them updated after each puzzle. :)

Since I could not attach a Word.doc. I saved it as txt. so the formatting disappeared. But, you can always save it as a doc.
