Time of Submitting List Not Consider
ed in Awarding Prizes in The
Times Puzzle Contest.


For the benefit OF those who have
asked Information. and any others who
may be interested IN the matter. The
Times will state that the time an answer
is received in the word contest has no
bearing whatsoever upon the status Of
that answer. There being no fixed So
luton. as In the dot contest. there is
no advantage to be gained by submit
ting an answer ahead of others; stiu.
10 avoid the confusion and possible
mistakes that are liable to arise in tire
case of an overwhelming number of an
swers at the close, the puzzle editor
would perfer that the answers be sent
along as the lists of words are com
pleted. This viii enable those in charge
of the contest to enter I'D the returns
more systematically. After having made
up one list of words, contestants will
find it worth while TO try again. be-
cause they may succeed In making more
words the second time
People are still looking for the best
method to work up the largest list
OF words. One woman states that she
went over all the advertisements in The
Times and picked out the words OF one
syllable In this way she had been
enabled to make UP a list of $50 words
simply from the advertisements. The
! pILZie eutLoT uOeSn Know Dut what
this is about the best scheme he has
heard Of yet. Advertisement writer's
are concise and to the point and use
simple. plain words to express them
selves.
Another contestant, who has submit
ted one list of words, is getting up a
second. He says he carrses around a
memorandum book and puts down all
the words Of one syllable he hears
spoken. and then sees If he can pick out
letters from the chart 70 form the same
words. The puzzle editor will have to
see the results Of this method before
being able TO pass upon its merits.
The answers still show the same varia-
tions as at first No two people are
within gunshot OF each other in the
sameness of their answers. The greater

seems to be the discrepancy between
