Place Words Puzzle (Closed)

This contest was a puzzle again. This time you didn't have to answer any difficult questions, you just had to puzzle. Below you find a empty word puzzle and 91 words/titles ranging from 3 to 16 letters. All words have some meaning with regard to Mary.

The first step of the puzzle was to place all words in the puzzle so that they all fit in the puzzle (Note: spaces are not to be put inside the puzzle). The second step was to take all letters from the coloured boxes together. Each group of letters forms the title of a Mary Black song (so all yellow letters form a songtitle, all red letters a songtitle and all green letters a songtitle). The order of the coloured boxes is not the same as the order of the letters in the songtitles. This means that you also had to do some puzzling with the letters.

You could either print out the image of the puzzle below, or if you have Microsoft Excel, you could download an Excel sheet in which you can fill in the words.

The winners

  1. The first prize winner is Sue Owen and she received: the promo single Poison Tree, the rare promo CD Introducing Mary Black, a signed photograph of Mary and a large poster from the Dutch 2002 tour.
  2. The second prize winner is Michael Suhs and he got: the promo single Poison Tree, the CD single Flesh and Blood and a signed photograph of Mary.
  3. The third prize winner is Steve Enright and he received: the promo single Poison Tree and a small poster from the Dutch 2002 tour.
