2019 is about to be done and the nodegel has grown by several hundred new writeups. What better way to reminisce about them than with a good old-fashioned crossword? Inspired by The First Fantastic E2 Crossword Puzzle, here I present a small puzzle where the answers are (almost) all related to topics, nodes and writeups created in 2019.
This is not meant to be hard, but to be fun.
This is the first time I’m doing a crossword, so all constructive feedback is most welcome. Answers can be found in E2 in 2019: a crossword (Solution)
Without further ado, the crossword itself, clues below.
