Why Are There So Many Incomplete Questions In Crosswords?

[Tilly2]

There is something wrong, somewhere.

Like this one.

I agree there seems to be a sudden influx of them. It's driving poor factor to distraction.

[Tilly2]

It is, Prudie.

[Baldric]

He's loving it, ^^ I'll bet he's counting them as well!

[Tilly2]

I'm not sure it's newness. It seems to happen so often. There is a flaw somewhere.

[pixie374]

Ah. There are quite a few then!

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Jo. How did you do that?

[scorpiojo]

I typed Enter further into the search box :)

[Tilly2]

Ah, I see and it came up with 541 of them!

Thanks again.

[scorpiojo]

You're welcome :)

[Tilly2]

So, how does it happen so often?

[scorpiojo]

Too often :(

I don't think it's newness, either.

[Tilly2]

I'm glad you agree, Jo. :-)

Any ideas, anyone?

To be absolutely fair, some of those examples are completely covered in the title.

But it does seem to be a bit excessive at present.

It has probably been pointed out, but the Ed is aware of the problem - seems it started when they removed the counter from the answer box (or similar to that) .

It is to use an oft quoted phrase 'On the list'.

To be honest, I am surprised there are so many crossword fanatics!!

I myself prefer sudoku.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah the 'cheaterbank' section never ceases to amaze.

[Mamyalynne]

I'll rephrase that - removed the counter from the 'Enter further details here' box.
