YAY! What a cool contest! I feel like Stanley now haha!
Oooh yay!
Oooh–already some really great clues! Thanks for the diversion–this looks too fun. I love the NYT crossword, but an Office themed one is even better!
Wouldn’t it be better if we didn’t post the answers for everyone to see?
Yeah, I agree with Kristen. Tanster, will you do the thing where you say “entry received”?
ooh sounds fun! can’t figure out 18 down, though…
great idea. my only question is are all of these clues from the office? “japanese aborigine” for example… i don’t remember that from any episode. maybe i’m wrong though.
Are you sure that all of these clues are from The Office? If so, I’m about 100% sure they aren’t all from ‘Secret Santa’ — loving this contest, though!
10 | shoe la laa,
Not all of these are from the office. “Japanese aborigine” is kind of a traditional crossword clue/answer. It’s a bit of crosswordese for us addicts.
this looks REALLY HARD
[from tanster: that’s what she said.]
I wished stanley was here to help me.
Number 1 Across. I just watched the episode and I know the answer. But it doesn’t fit..?
I’m an idiot. Nevermind ^!
I’m having some difficulty with 1 across too. Faith is it a synonym for the word I think it is? Or should I just rewatch the ep?
PamPamThankYouMaam: I had to rewatch :(
Which episode is it? I’m totally drawing a blank.
i think it’s the synonym. Works for me. We’ll see as time goes on and they show us 1 across, 2 across, 3 and 4 across if it fits or not. It may have been an error, same with 37 Down. “Reporter Light.” His last name is actually Ligh.
#20 – Daniel. The reporter’s name is Light (or, according to the subtitles on the DVD, “Lite”–but that’s gotta be a typo), as in “LIGHTer Side of Life”.
mic914: I believe it’s Email Surveillance. I’m making a note of the eps I need to rewatch tonight to verify.
Faith, am I correct on that?
Actually….it’s Product Recall.
Sorry about that….I thought you were talking about the Reporter Lite/Light/Ligh clue.
Yes…Email Surveillance is the one were Kevin has to * a lot stuff.
I am painfully close to solving this. I am missing only 6 squares including my conjectures. Some of it is a little iffy but a lot of it I am certain of.
Tanster, do you have a certain time of day that you are consistently adding the clues?
[from tanster: well if i told you that, that would take all the excitement out of it. :) ]
yeah for 1 across the right word doesn’t fit… is it a synonym like everybody else said?
fancynewbeesly, you are thinking of the wrong word. It isn’t a synonym. It’s exactly what he said. Rewatch the episode.
continuity error: thank you, i got it =)
Yes PamPamThankYouMaam! It’s Email Surveillance!
is 20 across an office clue? or is it just a random crossword clue?
Har. I’ve managed to fill out the whole thing, but it required a few obscure words. That’s the nature of crosswords, though. :)
fancynewbeesly,
It isn’t Office related.
Thanks guys! That helped a lot! I had a totally different word in there that coulda made sense but it woulda ruined 1-4 down, lol. :)
if 43 across is what i think it is, then 42 down can’t be right.
You probably have 42 down wrong then. I always thought he was saying a different word. If you can’t tell from rewatching the episode, then check the quotes tanster posted for the episode in the episode thread. It’s definitely right there.
Continuity Error: you just keep saving me =) thank you!
Why can’t clues be posted on weekends too?
I have the right answers to 43 across and 42 down (42 does not work). This is really tough. Also 25 across doesn’t match up with 11 down.
Mindy(mindysfavshow),
You don’t have the right word for 42 down or 25 across. Check the OfficeTally quotes for the episode for 42. 25 is not a commonly used word (for me anyway…) nor was it ever used on the show.
I’m having so much fun with this crossword puzzle. My family thinks I’m a little obsessed. It’s especially fun to start getting some of the answers before we’ve been given the clues. I’ve got quite a few but have no idea how “Continuity Error” managed to get it all done days ago – wow!
How many people have been able to figure out some of the answers without clues?
Lolo: I just loaded it in Photoshop and made a layer for certain answers and a layer for guesses. Worked my way until I got all 6 of the long ones (17a, 26a, 43a, 57,a 4d, 39d) and the rest fell into place. A few of my guesses were wrong! I’m down to 9 uncertain letters though. :)
does anyone know what 46 down is?? I can’t figure it out
imnotasecuritythreat: The wording of the clue for 46 down doesn’t seem to make much sense. It would be clearer to say that 24 down is a specific type of 46 down. 46 down is also plural.
The clue for 46 down makes sense if you use the past tense (not plural) and it works with 63 across even though we don’t have that clue yet.
Lisa: That’s true. That is actually much more likely than the word I ended up with for 63 across. :)
Haha. I just got 21 across. I had it as a very common word before the clue, but the clue messed that possibility up. The answer came to me while I was taking a shower and made me laugh. Good one. :)
I only have 5 more spots to fill!!! I’m soooo close =) =)
20 across is just really stumping me. And I need 12 and 13 down or 10 and 16 across.
What is the deal with 19 Down? Does that even pertain to The Office?
4 to go!!
I love it when I can’t quite get one, then the light bulb comes on! Haha. This crossword was a great idea! :)
[from tanster: glad you guys are having fun! :) ]
Well I’ve filled out mine, but I’m sure I’ll have to make some changes once some more clues are posted.
Argh. 20 across is still mind-bottling.
I think I’m done! Just waiting for clues to verify…
I stumbled upon this contest looking for The Office online, and now I’m obsessed. So curious to see what some of these answers are.
[from tanster: awesome, welcome!]
Hey Tanster if I take a stab at it and I’m wrong can I still enter again? Because I think I’ve got them all! But just in case I want to make sure I don’t eliminate myself… LOL
PamPamThankYouMaam: The rules state a few things that make this a bad idea. You can only enter after all the clues are posted. You can only enter once. And finally, the winner is chosen by a random draw of the correct answers. There is no advantage to entering early. :x
[from tanster: thank you, CE. i hereby anoint you Assistant (to the) Crossword Manager. ;) ]
Hooray. Now I just need to punch you in the stomach twice so I can get rid of the (to the)! :D
[from tanster: lolol]
Question.
CE, for 15 across, did you get an abbreviated version of a word? A yes or no answer will do.
ASFan: Yes. A good rule of thumb is that an abbreviation in the clue means an abbreviation in the answer. This is also a standard clue for crosswords that crops up again and again.
Thanks for the update, CE! You definitely should be Assistant (to the) Crossword Manager.
That also takes a lot of pressure off!! Whew =) I can sit back now and check my answers.
Thanks for the fun crossword, Tanster! It’s giving me something to do while I’m on bed rest.
omg, i can’t figure some of these out! i’m gonna need more mullins.
Whoa. I’ve been trying to figure out 26 across for forever. I finally got it. And that was very tricky. That was the hardest clue of all of them!
I am TERRIBLE at crosswords, but I love the Office, so I’m giving it a shot. My brain hurts.
[from tanster: i’m not very good at them either. in fact, i couldn’t actually finish it myself! good luck. :) ]
[from tanster: received]
Yay. Now I know for sure I have everything right.
This is so exciting! I have the diagram all filled out, but will wait until all the clues are posted just to be sure.
This crossword is the most dawesome idea ever!
Ahh! The top right corner is driving me nuts! I can’t get 11 down, or 16 across.
[from tanster: received]
[from tanster: received]
Argh! I’m totally stuck on the lower right corner. I can’t for the life of me figure out 52 down or 62 across.
[from tanster: received]
i feel like i should know 28 down, since it is an office clue, but i’m drawing a blank.
I’m seeing some ‘received’ notices….I thought we couldn’t submit the answers until all clues had been posted.
This is a great contest! I love having new clues everyday so I can take a break at work. (Who are we kidding, most days I just sit and wait for the break)
[from tanster: received]
I agree with Pidealano… I thought we had to wait until after clues are posted tomorrow?
I’m all done but I wanted to make sure I followed the rules lol
I’m allowing early entry.
(That’s what she said.)

Haha. I just got 21 across. I had it as a very common word before the clue, but the clue messed that possibility up. The answer came to me while I was taking a shower and made me laugh. Good one. :)
I only have 5 more spots to fill!!! I’m soooo close =) =)
20 across is just really stumping me. And I need 12 and 13 down or 10 and 16 across.
What is the deal with 19 Down? Does that even pertain to The Office?
4 to go!!
I love it when I can’t quite get one, then the light bulb comes on! Haha. This crossword was a great idea! :)
[from tanster: glad you guys are having fun! :) ]
Well I’ve filled out mine, but I’m sure I’ll have to make some changes once some more clues are posted.
Argh. 20 across is still mind-bottling.
I think I’m done! Just waiting for clues to verify…
I stumbled upon this contest looking for The Office online, and now I’m obsessed. So curious to see what some of these answers are.
[from tanster: awesome, welcome!]
Hey Tanster if I take a stab at it and I’m wrong can I still enter again? Because I think I’ve got them all! But just in case I want to make sure I don’t eliminate myself… LOL
PamPamThankYouMaam: The rules state a few things that make this a bad idea. You can only enter after all the clues are posted. You can only enter once. And finally, the winner is chosen by a random draw of the correct answers. There is no advantage to entering early. :x
[from tanster: thank you, CE. i hereby anoint you Assistant (to the) Crossword Manager. ;) ]
Hooray. Now I just need to punch you in the stomach twice so I can get rid of the (to the)! :D
[from tanster: lolol]
Question.
CE, for 15 across, did you get an abbreviated version of a word? A yes or no answer will do.
ASFan: Yes. A good rule of thumb is that an abbreviation in the clue means an abbreviation in the answer. This is also a standard clue for crosswords that crops up again and again.
Thanks for the update, CE! You definitely should be Assistant (to the) Crossword Manager.
That also takes a lot of pressure off!! Whew =) I can sit back now and check my answers.
Thanks for the fun crossword, Tanster! It’s giving me something to do while I’m on bed rest.
omg, i can’t figure some of these out! i’m gonna need more mullins.
Whoa. I’ve been trying to figure out 26 across for forever. I finally got it. And that was very tricky. That was the hardest clue of all of them!
I am TERRIBLE at crosswords, but I love the Office, so I’m giving it a shot. My brain hurts.
[from tanster: i’m not very good at them either. in fact, i couldn’t actually finish it myself! good luck. :) ]
[from tanster: received]
Yay. Now I know for sure I have everything right.
This is so exciting! I have the diagram all filled out, but will wait until all the clues are posted just to be sure.
This crossword is the most dawesome idea ever!
Ahh! The top right corner is driving me nuts! I can’t get 11 down, or 16 across.
[from tanster: received]
[from tanster: received]
Argh! I’m totally stuck on the lower right corner. I can’t for the life of me figure out 52 down or 62 across.
[from tanster: received]
i feel like i should know 28 down, since it is an office clue, but i’m drawing a blank.
I’m seeing some ‘received’ notices….I thought we couldn’t submit the answers until all clues had been posted.
This is a great contest! I love having new clues everyday so I can take a break at work. (Who are we kidding, most days I just sit and wait for the break)
[from tanster: received]
I agree with Pidealano… I thought we had to wait until after clues are posted tomorrow?
I’m all done but I wanted to make sure I followed the rules lol
I’m allowing early entry.
(That’s what she said.)

There was one word that I wasn’t sure about, mainly because it’s not a word. Arg. haha. But, for me that’s pretty good, and this was very fun.
