Hi all cruciverbalists there!

Yes, it’s time to publish the key for last week's "Care To Read" Crossword Puzzle No.14, so here comes the Key to Crossword-14:

---

In response to the New Year Bonanza offer, I’ve received a lot of entries. Many of you tend to submit multiple answers after your first submission. I can understand that there can be some errors and misses in your haste to make your entry the quickest one to reach me. Therefore, I had already done away with the rule of “the quickest one wins the maximum prize” from this year and have adopted lucky random draw system to award all the Whaleshares in the prize pool. Despite this, many of you have sent me multiple edits to your first submission. Until now, I was accepting small edits to your first submission on the condition that they won’t be considered the quickest correct entry, as they weren’t too many to handle for me. But it has become increasingly difficult and time consuming for me to accommodate multiple submissions from you. So henceforth I’d be a little strict in enforcing the RULE No. 8 in everyone’s interest.

Please note that from next puzzle, I’ll only take into account the first submission by everyone to arrive at the winning entries.

Now without much ado, let's see who are the lucky ones to win the Whaleshares this time around:

***********

Following Steemians have won 75 Whaleshares each:

@steemtrendsetter

@steemcasper

@cryptolucky

@mehta

@jznsamuel

Congratulations to all of you for winning 75 WHALESHARES each.

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 also sending a token sum of 0.25 SBD to each of you as a thank you gesture for your efforts in participating and solving the crossword
Here is the list of participants with all correct entries:

@twistytango

@animaya

@chillpill

@positivity420

@wentong-syhhae

@thetimetravelerz

@lovemelange

@alz190

@ememkay

@almostpeter

@aquamarine

***********

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 👍.
