Hi everyone!

For those of you who took part in solving the last week's "Care To Read" Crossword Puzzle No.5, it's about time to release the key. Thank you all for participating with such zeal and fervour!

Here comes the Key:

*

Before I announce the Prizes, let's know where these come from:

I'm very thankful to our amazingly sweet and tasty Muffin Man Mr. @reggaemuffin (who is also running a witness for the Steem blockchain) and @minnowbooster bot project (which is also the most versatile SP delegation and leasing platform here), who have graciously agreed to delegate a total of 1000 SP for 28 days to the deserving participants of this contest.

We are also thankful to @akrid & @officialfuzzy of Whaleshares Project for continuing to provide their invaluable support by constantly offering 150 whaleshares in the prizes every week.

*

And without any much ado, we want to know who won biggest prize this time.

The WINNER is:

@howtostartablog

Congratulations @howtostartablog for winning 50 WHALESHARES. AND

MINNOW PLAYER OF THE WEEK @minnowbooster Special Delegation Award

of about 500 SP for 28 days also goes to @howtostartablog. Many many congratulations to @howtostartablog for this achievement! He was the quickest with all the required correct answers for the crossword.

Please note that those of you who have not sent me your Bitshares ID yet, please provide me one at the earliest. If you are encountering any problem in registering your account with bitshares or using whaleshares, please feel free to seek any help by joining Whaleshares Discord Server.

As always, prizes will be sent to you only a day after this announcement. I always wait for any objections, errors & omissions on my behalf in case any participant would like to point out to me and I’m open for considering a revision to this announcment. Thanks for your patience and cooperation!

N.B.:

Do note that both the @minnowbooster Special Delegation Award winners have already got some delegated SP to their credit. I haven't checked up their delegator and ain't aware of its duration. Yet, I'm recommending both the names to the respective sponsors and its subject to their approval. In the eventuality of any reluctance, new winners may be announced. Thanks for your understanding!

UPDATE ON PRIZES:

As an inaugural delegation award, our sponsors are happy to delegate not just 500 but 750 SP (for 4 weeks) to both of our @minnowsupport Special Delegation Award winners @howtostartablog and @jznsamuel. Do enjoy your curation activity and spread the love!

Special Mentions:

I’m glad to note that this week too some of you have taken an extra effort to submit your keys filling into the squares of actual crossword grid. These entries were from:

@ecoinstant

&

@jznsamuel

This extra effort also saves you from any inadvertent spelling errors in answering the puzzle and will also give you some hints by revealing the overlapping letters at the joints in the grid.

Others too can use any image editing software if they wish to have more fun in solving the crossword. However, it's not a requirement for submitting your answers.

Perhaps @ecoinstant is preparing a guide detailing the methodology he used in preparing this key for everyone's benefit. As committed last week, I’d be glad to upvote any such posts from you by sending a max upvote from a treeplanter upvote bot, if this is brought to my notice as a special thanks from me. So do post a link to your post in the comment section of the latest crossword puzzle.

My sincere thanks to all the participants to this contest.

Do keep an eye for the next crossword here. Hints' post can be up anytime from now.
