Example
- Copy draft clues for earlier OLLI theme entries; paste; prefix with "* "?
- Create (or edit) clues for other entries.
- Be original or borrow / modify existing clues?
- Check for part-of-speech agreement; etc.
- Shorten verbose clues.
- Fill-in-the-blank format or first/last name often easier to solve.
- Lengthen/clarify vague clues; add "?" if tricky.
Add clues that OLLI solvers might appreciate, e.g., quotes from poetry or plays,
or related to courses in other subject areas- -- but not too specific to current OLLI at SOU, e.g., oil clues with Jeff Wyatt,
Shakespeare clues mentioning Susan Stitham,
or local references to OSF, Ashland, Medford, etc.
(so that puzzle might be solved at other OLLI locations, and/or enjoyed for decades to come?) - -- and not too clever: e.g., 17-Across: ... [whose 2nd word = 55-Across?]
"To be or...": = CROSSPOLLINATOR (BEE) - CrossFire: "0 unclued words" -- mostly done!
- Sleep on it. Ask a friend to solve the puzzle and for feedback.
- Review, Edit, Review, Edit, ...
Submit for publication -- or at least distribute to friends or post online (or use in a course)?
