Crossword Puzzle thread #4
For any new participants, here's how the Crossword Puzzle is played:
1) Whoever guesses the word correctly gets to build on THAT word to make the new word. In cases of multiple correct answers, whoever posts first is the winner and gets to choose the next word. 2) Make sure all the words are travel related somehow. Your word could be a person, a place, an event, an object. 3) State what letter you're building on from the previous word. 4) State the position of that letter in your new word. 5) State how many letters in the new word. 6) Give us a good clue! 7) Again, all words should be travel-related Our last clue: This area of an "unnamed place" (knowing this would make it too easy) is well known for its many beautiful and well preserved windmills. The area is one word, 8 letters; the the fifth letter is the "I" in vIlla. Our last answer: Lassithi New Clue: This city's cathedral houses a religious relic which was last shown to public in 1996.
