How does it work?
The clues down below will hint to words that fill out their respective numbers on the crossword. Some of the clues reference the September newsletter, others instagram posts, or our physical bookstore cafe. Some of the clues are hard, so do as much as you can and access you inner detective. If all else fails, the internet is available to you.
The yellow tiles will give you letters that need to be unscrambled to find the secret word. Have fun!
