Hi all cruciverbalists there!

For those of you who took part in solving the last week's "Care To Read" Crossword Puzzle No.12, you must be waiting for the release of its key.

So here comes the Key to Crossword-12:

---

As mentioned earlier, the value of Whaleshares was reduced drastically. But the good news is that it's being boosted continuously with the @officiafuzzy account SP now approaching close to 10,000. The Voting Power of the account too is almost 100% now. So for a 100% upvote, you get a vote worth of over $2.50. Considering the value of SBD around 10 USD and Steem around 3.25 USD, this $2.5 upvote is still worth about $14 i.e. about the same value as earlier when SBD was around 1 USD. So you are getting the same value from your whaleshares as before. But owing to price fluctuations, I'm adding another 0.5 Steem to the prize to every whaleshare winner. Shouldn't we be more joyful & happier during these festive times?

So without much ado, let's see who won the maximum whaleshares this time around.

***********

And the fastest cruciverbalist to solve the crossword this time is:

The WINNER is:

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. Since I don't want to make this prizes bigger than what are being offered to Whaleshare winners, I'm awarding following entries 0.50 Steem each from the post payout author rewards as a thank you gesture for your efforts in participating and solving the crossword. I'd like to make the prize distribution much better in the upcoming crosword. Do come up with your suggestions too (in the comment section below).

Here is the list of participants with all correct entries, who too are being offered 0.50 Steem:

@steemcasper

@cryptolucky

@thetimetravelerz

@animaya

@chillpill

@hardikv

@stellarr

@positivity420

***********

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. 👍.
