Hi, Mary-Megan! It will work basically the same way, Mary-Megan, only working with the numbers 21 and 11, with the different levels you see in message #1. So it will probably be something like 1x11, 1x21, 11x11, 11x21 and 21x21. And again, you will be able to set up your own categories (and even repeat categories if you like), so you can set it up however it's easiest for you.
So now is a great time to start thinking about and planning out your categories if you have the time...plus, it's a lot of fun to do :)
Awesome challenge work, Sunshine!! Your new link for the Browns is all set :)

Great review, BC! Since I struggle with fantasy (I don't know why), this might be a good one for me to read to help me step out of my comfort zone.
Well done, Lynda!
Another great finish, Ruth!!

Book Concierge has a group, Grab a Book & Play Booktivity!. This is the November 2020 Scavenger Hunt.
Jan has a group, Wanderlust Challenges, and the current word search challenge there right now is Syria Word Seach.
Both of these are awesome groups, with awesome moderators. You will find lots of other fun things there as well.
I'll leave a link to that message as well, so you can see the entire message if needed:

Well done, Frankie!
Have fun, Ed!Did you happen to see Book Concierge's message about the word search challenges in her group?
I just wanted to make sure you know about those challenges as well :)
