Anus et Anser

I'm using some new crossword puzzle software (online, fast, easy) to create new puzzles to go with the new Aesop's fables I'm posting at LatinViaFables.com.

Today's fable at Latin Via Fables is Anus et Anser: Old Woman and Goose. You can visit the Latin Via Fables page to see the Latin text, English translation and some grammar help.

Word List. Here is an alphabetical word list of the Latin words included in the puzzle:

anus, anser, ovum, aureus, perdere, unicus, tantum, viscera, fodina, quotidie, spes, inanis, infelix, lucrum, modicus, confestim, cupiditas, alere, avarus, interficere
