It’s Follow-Up Friday: Wordplay-action pass edition!

Welcome to Follow-Up Friday!

By this time, you know the drill. Follow-Up Friday is a chance for us to revisit the subjects of previous posts and bring the PuzzleNation audience up to speed on all things puzzly.

And today, I’m posting the results of our #PennyDellFootballPuzzles hashtag game!

You may be familiar with the board game Schmovie, hashtag games on Twitter, or @midnight’s Hashtag Wars segment on Comedy Central.

For the last few months, we’ve been collaborating on puzzle-themed hashtag games with our pals at Penny Dell Puzzles, and this month’s hook was Penny Dell Football Puzzles, mashing up Penny Dell puzzles and the world of American football. Players, teams, plays, terminology, anything and everything!

Examples include: The San Francisco Three-From-Niners, Coin Tossing & Turning, or Joe Namathboxes!

So, without further ado, check out what the puzzlers at PuzzleNation and Penny Dell Puzzles came up with!
