Anybody know of any online acrostic puzzles?

For quite some time I have been visiting E-crostic Software's website on a daily basis, spending a fun half-hour or so working the latest puzzle. But here lately the new puzzles aren't coming out daily. Sometimes weeks go by with nothing new.

Do any of you have other sites like this with online acrostic puzzles to work without having to use pencil and paper?

It may not sate your addiction for long, but All-Star Puzzles has a mini-crostic section. I believe it's updated twice a week.

Not an acrostic, but I like the offerings at crickler.com they have an enigma puzzle, daily fill-ins for news and crossword and a pretty cool vocab puzzle.

Check out NetCrostics!

I've just recently made a web version of ECrostics.

Free website with over 1,700 free acrostics to play or print. Even a cell phone version!

Magnificent! You're one of my heroes from the OP site. I see you have puzzles by some of my other favorites, too. Now I have something to do for the next few weeks!

Thanks for the link and welcome to SDMB!

Acrostics.org seems to me to be a dead website. Nothing much there.
