I have been going quietly crazy this week! I have been using a BASIC program to make up crostics since I first typed it out from the TRS-80 magazine about 1977, and have had to fix it over the years (though I doubt I could do it again). I tried a longer puzzle, and all went well until I tried to print it - and the computer froze up.
I write down all the words, and have been trying to get the puzzle working. But it is taking a while! So there is an upper limit on how many letters I can use!

In the meantime, here is a shorter one again.

I'll try to post the solution in a week or so, but I am recouping from turning 78!

A) Ivanhoe.
B) Legume
C) Odd Man Out.
D) Nought
E) A Fine Romance
F) Aft
G) Note
H) David Suchet
I) Rosemary and thyme.
J) Entertainment
K) Who
L) Shove
M) Married with children
N) ad
