Congrats to ¶ Corrupt and webmaren who tied with 3 points each! Great job you two! Good luck with Crossword #2. :D




Hello,and welcome to Studio Zero's first ever Crossword Puzzle contest. Every one crossword will have a theme. For example this week's theme is Finance. I am going to try to make these really hard, so I don't have to make a crossword everyday, and this actually make you think. If you are a crossword puzzle fan, this might be really fun for you, so ENJOY! ;D

Here are a few things you should know before you begin:

  • 1 guess per post
  • You may guess as many times as you want, but only after another person has guessed.
  • No editing your posts, if you do your guess will be ignored, and if the word was correct the next person to say it will get a point instead of you. If you spelled the word wrong by a few characters, but you had the right word you will recieve the point. ( I understand typo's happen)
  • Every correct word you guess will recieve you 1 point check below to see the current standings.
  • The winner will receive +5 karma and if you manage to win 3 crossword games consecutively,you will be awarded a custom title!






Crossed out Clues means that the correct word has been found.

1-Elimination of a long or short position by making an opposite transaction.
3-Borrowing money for a set period of time.

9 -The trading/exchange of goods or services without using currency.

5-A Market characterized by a small number of producers who often act together to control the supply of a particular good and its market price.
6-A draft addressed to a bank.(There is a space)

8-Slang for one million dollars.

Transaction - Incorrect (although very close, it is too broad the word I picked actually means a firm buying another firm, a transaction could be a purchase at the dollar store.)

Puzzlemaker is not my friend. =p

Yesterday I was invited to the Sterlingfest by this girl and I was there basically from 1p.m. to 11p.m. =p. As for Slip, I will take his first guess and pretend it was the only one, and the others can be re-guessed by him or others.

Now for everyone's answers:

The correct ones:
9 across: Barter - Slip
2 down: security - ¶ Corrupt
7 Across: Acquisition - webmaren
3 across - loan - ShadowyOne

The Incorrect ones:
8 down: Mil - Inc
7 across: takeover Inc


I will be updating the first post in a few minutes. Please keep guessing, this crossword is far from over. :P

Correct, you have been awarded 1 point, and that puts you in first place on the standings chart with a total of 2 points.

¶ Corrupt, 10 across: deal = Incorrect
