Now available to order, just in time for the holidays: The Charlotte Ledger Crossword Puzzle Collection, with 35 original crossword puzzles that have Charlotte clues and themes.
Is it the perfect stocking stuffer for the puzzle-lover in your life?
Is it the first-ever printed collection of crosswords with Charlotte clues and themes?
We think the correct answer is “probably yes!” to both of those questions.
The crosswords are made by Chris King of Columbia, S.C., a puzzle book author who has been supplying The Ledger’s weekly puzzles. This is a printed collection of those 30 Charlotte-themed crosswords — plus 5 new ones!
Puzzle themes include Carowinds, the Curry family, the Meck Dec, 24 Hours of Booty, Mecklenburg County’s towns, Charlotte FC, N.C. “American Idol” contestants, UNC basketball greats, The Ledger’s 40 Over 40 Awards, Duke coaching legends and more! Many of the clues in each puzzle feature Charlotte restaurants, landmarks and people.
It’s $19.99 + tax. Questions? [email protected].
