LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:

Title: “Scoresheet” (Score = 20, sheet = piece of paper)
Instructions: This week’s contest answer is a game.
Answer: 20 QUESTIONS

20 questions hid (?) in last week’s answer grid, making that game our contest answer. I won’t list them all, but they are highlighted in blue at right.

Some solvers got to 21 either by counting COMO ESTAS as two separate questions, or by counting I DO or the international tourist’s question “PHOTO?” from the pre-selfie-stick era. But neither of those was clued as a ?, so the 20 in blue it is.

Golem notes:

And yet, not a single Q in the grid.

Katja603 asks:

Amirite?

And Magoo says:

Good to see the rules of the game in a thematic entry at 54-A

This week’s winner, whose name was chosen at random from the 558 correct entries received, is Howard Green of Winchester, Va. In addition to a MGWCC pen, pencil, and notepad set, Howard will also receive a 1-year subscription to Matt Gaffney’s Daily Crossword.

JUNE WINNERS:

Congratulations to the following twelve MGWCC winners for June, whose names were chosen at random from among the 124 people who sent in the correct contest answer to each of last month’s five puzzles (TOSCA, GARTH BROOKS, WEIRD, 68-A reclue, CUT). Each will receive a MGWCC pen, pencil, and notepad set:
