Arkadium's 12 Days of Crosswords
https://www.arkadium.com/games/12-days-of-crossword
Matt just tweeted about this 12 day contest with a $3,000 prize. First four puzzles were pretty easy. Must complete and submit puzzles online. Meta at the end of the 12th puzzle which will reference the prior puzzles (so you probably need to complete them all to get the meta).
Happy solving!

I read someplace that you have to solve it online.

You can print out after solving. I didn't see a way to print the blank grid.

You can use screen capture to copy & paste the grid.

Yeah, it printed the grid, but I could only get the clues in pieces. I wouldn't mind doing that for one day, but 12? I dunno; I might...

The grids are so easy (NYT Monday if even that hard) that printing them out, solving on paper, and then transcribing to the app for submission just doesn't seem worth it.

Unless I missed one, I think that there were three clues (not in the grid or clues) along the way as to the final solution, but no way to go back to see them again once puzzle has been submitted. Puzzles all completed, but not sure where to go from here. I have a couple of days to look at this off and on, so something may pop up.

Yeah that's definitely an annoyance. Wish I could go back and see what they were...I only wrote down one and remember a 2nd.ky-mike wrote: โFri Dec 11, 2020 10:02 am Unless I missed one, I think that there were three clues (not in the grid or clues) along the way as to the final solution, but no way to go back to see them again once puzzle has been submitted.

Update: Submitted. It doesn't say if you're right or not, lol.

Submitted. I did write down the clues as I went along but the bonus hint made them mostly irrelevant. I'll put them here in a spoiler tag (although I don't think they're actually a spoiler or I wouldn't post them) if anyone's interested:
In retrospect it should be possible to figure out the answer from these hints and the completed puzzles, but I guess not for me! It didn't really go the way I was expecting.

The "meta" was kind of disappointing. I had hoped for a more involved end-game.

The letters in square 12 of the puzzles anagram to SANTA RUDOLPH. I was hoping the 10-letter answers to the capitalized clues would figure in the mechanism, but they don't.

You should see my attempt at cross referencing all the duplicated answers across the 12 puzzles...only to only need 12 letters, which they practically gave us...

Does anybody still have the pdfs and answers as my laptop reset and I hadn't been able to solve the other half of the puzzles and the final meta.
