The solution to this puzzle will be given in our second issue. But for those who like to cheat, perhaps we should admit that we have cheated a little too. This puzzle was lifted from issue 46 of Te A o Hou (December 1963), so those of you with old copies at home

need only to peek at issue 47 to ensure you get the answers right! However, a new series of crossword puzzles is in preparation, so don’t expect them all to be as easy as this one.
