Crossword-puzzle fans probably have at least two questions about the new Geopuzzle, which makes its debut in the July issue of the magazine:
1. Do I use ink or pencil?
2. Who thought up all those clever clues?
For question No. 1, we’d like to hear from you. Did you try ballpoint pen (our choice) or pencil? Or did you print the puzzle out from our website and leave your magazine in pristine condition?
As for the author, she is the formidable puzzler Cathy Allis (formerly published as Millhauser), a crossword constructor for over 20 years. Her puzzles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and numerous crossword collections. A book of her original puzzles, Humorous Crosswords, has been in print since 2003.
If you can’t wait until next month’s Geopuzzle, you can try a 2007 crossword created by Allis and clued by former President Bill Clinton.
And of course, we'd love to hear your reaction to our Geopuzzle!

Ballpoint of course! To be honest, I'm not planning on ruining my magazine so I'll be printing a copy from the website, for all in my family to enjoy.
Thanks for adding the puzzle, it was such a pleasant surprise, but then I though they had eliminated “Flashback”... Oh no, my favorite! Thank goodness I found it in the next page towards the front.
Now I have two reasons to start the magazine from the back.
