IMPORTANT UPDATE 17/12/2017:

ALL WINNERS ARE REQUESTED TO NOT TO USE THEIR WHALESHARE (IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY USED THOSE) AS @officialfuzzy ACCOUNT WAS RECENTLY UNDELEGATED AND ITS VOTE WORTH HAS DRAINED DOWN DRASTICALLY NOW.

Hi all cruciverbalists there!

For those of you who took part in solving the last week's "Care To Read" Crossword Puzzle No.11, it's a bit late to release the key.

Unfortunately, internet has been banned in my city for last few days and it’s quite uncertain as when this ban will be lifted as the ban keeps on extending whenever it is about to end at its 24 hour pre-announced period. So I don’t have any access to internet connectivity right now. But I know that results for this Crossword is now over-delayed and must be testing your patience. So I’ve travelled to a different city just to get an access to the internet to be able to make this post. Hence, I won’t wait for the usual one day time for registering any objection to the prizes. I’ll transfer the prizes instantly (for those who have already given their OL ID to me) , else you will need to wait a little more for it. Claims for all errors and omissions will still be entertained by me. Thank you all for your patience and bearing with me!

So without any much ado, here comes the Key:

---

Wait... Here's the list of all other correct submissions :

Hey! All others need not get disappointed for not making it to the above list. This listing is especially for you! In fact, I'm glad that this time the number of correct entries far exceeded the pre-assigned prize pool, all thanks to you! I'm happy to see more and more participants loving the format of this challenge. But since the beginning of the time (...I mean, since CTR Crossword No.1), I've set a tradition to not to let go any correct entry without a prize. Although there is a limitation at my end and it's not possible to offer everyone a good chunk of the prize pool. So at the least, I'd like to honour all correct entries by mentioning their username in this list. I'm awarding following entries 1 SBD each from the post payout author rewards as a thank you gesture for your efforts in participating and solving the crossword.

Fortunately, current market price for SBD is hovering over 10 USD. So this makes me really happy to make this offer at this time. However to not to make this offer more valuable than 20 whaleshare prize winners, I’ll be switching to offer Steem whenever the SBD prizes are higher than Steem ...but this will apply from next crossword only. To all those who have won Whaleshares, I’d advise them to use them on their 6 days old post to avail the high market rates of SBDs for their post-payout. This way, they won’t feel cheated, I guess. Anyways, I can’t do much about it. So here is the list of participants who are being offered 1 SBD:

@jznsamuel

@animaya

@royalrose

@arrliinn

@cryptolucky

@alz190

@beatsbema

***********

For the participants with incorrect entries, I'd only request them to pay more attention to the task at hand and there is no need to hurry unnecessarily. Submitting your entries in the crossword grid helps in getting some suggestions with any pre-filled letter, it also helps in avoiding any spelling error, and most importantly it helps you in any inadvertent overlook too ...as some of you accidentally submit answers without solving all the clues. So please don't be hasty. Do keep in mind that all correct entries will get some assured prize here. I would love to see your name in this list next time. 👍.

By the way, I’m thinking to reward incorrect entries with at least 50% correct answers to include in a lucky draw for 1 SBD prize out of the post payout from Crossword No. 13. How do you feel about that?

My sincere thanks to all the participants to this contest and best wishes for the next one which is live here.
