NOTE: Very unusual small competition if you ask me, but it's by ByLine Magazine, so it's legit. Does make you think twice, though, doesn't it? Almost like a Sudoku puzzle, only with words.

DOUBLE NOTE: Working hard on a major writing magazine article. Draft is written. Now I have to cut out two hundred words. Hmmm...tomorrow.
