Puzzles for Palestine 2
It's been more than a year.
The genocide in Palestine—foremost in Gaza, but also throughout the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria—rages on. Thus, we do too. Whether this is “welcome back” or “welcome in,” we’re so glad you’re here. Time to get to work.
We are Puzzles for Palestine 2—
a community of crossword constructors, new and old alike, committed to using our craft as a vehicle for uplifting the culture, language and traditions of Palestine. We hope to use our puzzle-making artistry for good—in this case by soliciting donations to support desperately needed aid to Palestinians. Your giving will contribute directly to the provision of water tanks, food supplies, and medical needs to the people of Palestine. Please read more about this on our Fundraiser page.
What We Made:
Twenty-two original crossword puzzles that celebrate and uplift the rich history, people and culture of Palestine— constructed, edited, and tested by the best people in the business:
Twenty of those puzzles are American-style crosswords ranging in shapes and sizes from 9x9 to 21x21, including one two-part crossword.
The pack also includes one 11x11 cryptic and one variety puzzle.
All puzzles come in both digital (.puz) and PDF format, unless indicated otherwise. You will also receive an intro PDF and 22 individual solution PDFs. Digital .puz files can be easily opened for online solving HERE.
Check out our 9x9 preview puzzle HERE! Mobile users: please note that solving this puzzle on a desktop browser will provide the smoothest experience.

Disclaimer: The puzzle-makers and organizers behind this effort are all allies committed to standing with Palestine, but most are not Palestinian. In our endeavor to represent Palestinian people, places, stories, and ideas, we may have made errors. We attempted to mitigate this by engaging Palestinian friends to review translations, language, and cultural context of PFP2 entries and clues, and are endlessly grateful for their constructive guidance. If you find anything misrepresented or have any feedback to make the work we put into PFP2 better please let us know. Thank you for being a part of this community.
