The theme of this puzzle is fairly specialized: Taiwan politics. So those not familiar with Taiwan are probably going to find much of this one difficult. But if enough people are interested in other such puzzles on more general themes, please let me know and I’ll create some additional crosswords. Also, please let me know what you think of this one. (Too hard? Too easy? Some questions are too obscure? Interesting? Boring?)
Here are a few guidelines:
- tones are ignored
- u is used for both u and ü
- apostrophes are omitted
- words can be run together, just as in other crossword puzzles
Have fun!

This one’s for Gus, who got me started thinking of this.
I think that’s a really good idea! I have to confess that I’m not that into Taiwanese politics, though. Wanna make one about food?
I think you are onto something.
I too am not into Taiwan politics, and food would be a good one, or for that matter no category i.e. most common words (for us beginners) would be fine.
Common words for beginners would be awesome. Xie xie
