To continue the saga of the stolen wordlists (see my own posts on this here and here, or Peter Austin’s posts here and here for background) I’ve decided that if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
It is with that in mind that I give you (over the fold) the Murrinh-Patha crossword puzzle, my own creative work, using Philip M. Parker’s online dictionary of the Murrinh-Patha language.
See how long it takes you to complete it.

Hi,
If you would like me to create puzzle books (ebook, or otherwise) for your teaching, please send me 2 columns of data (English in the first, and the second language in the second). These seems to be enjoyed by language learners. Though create for young learners, others seem to enjoy them as well.

p.s. I always grant reproduction rights to educators (of course, I will also be happy to give you a citation if you like, or you can publish these under your own name).
