In December we ran a crossword competition! Whilst the competition has now closed, you can now play the crossword for fun and check your answers (either in the crossword app itself, or by simply scrolling down to see the solution).
All of the clues are to do with either Minecraft, or the Jinglecrafters charity campaign we were partners for in December to raise money for Jingle Jam.
