Beehive crosswords are a format pioneered by Will Shortz. Each numbered
hex, when solved, will contain a six letter word wrapping around the
number (one letter per triangular cell); the word starts in the cell
with the tic mark. The word can wrap either clockwise or counterclockwise
from its starting cell. The numbered clues below each layout correspond
to the numbered hexes. There are a pair of puzzles here now, I hope to
add more later.
