The D'ni Crossword Puzzle was published in 1998 as part of a series of puzzles on the RivenGuild website, each puzzle revealing one of the letters of a D'ni word and picture, which was an early clue to the location of the Cavern[1]. It consists of a list of 62 words written in D'ni script and a crossword grid in which to fit them all, without definitions or hints. Only a few of the entries were known when it was published. There has been no official claim that RAWA made the puzzle, but some evidence points to that. Over the years, many entries have been confirmed in other sources.
