We're giving away 100 games a day to our users to celebrate our 5th birthday!

For the last 5 years we've been doing our best to bring the best games in history to your home computers. Now, we're celebrating our birthday, and we want you--our users--to have a blast! That's why for the next five days we'll be giving away 100 games a day via our different channels (the forums, social media, YouTube). The details of each giveaway will be revealed on day to day basis, so make sure to drop by daily and see what are we up to.

So, we heard you like puzzles and trivia? Let's have some more of that, shall we? Today, our giveaway is once again forum-based, but requires some gaming knowledge and puzzle-solving skill. We present, the GOG.com B-Day crossword puzzle!

GOG.com 5th B-Day Crossword Puzzle

As you may have noticed, this isn't your regular crossword puzzle. You'll need not only guess what the correct words are, but also where do they go in the diagram. If you manage to get enough of them right, you'll be able to figure out the secret password. Send an email with the said password with the subject line CROSSWORD to contest@gog.com. Out of all the people who do this, we'll pick 100 users who will be sent a $9.99 gift-code.You have time until tomorrow, that's Friday, October 4, at 2:59PM GMT to send us your answer and enter the giveaway, as at that time we'll be moving to another communications channel with a new set of rules.

EDIT:
Have you participated in one of our 5th birthday contests, but are still waiting for its conclusion? We're a bit overwhelmed by the number of entries, as this is the ongoing biggest series of giveaways in the whole of GOG.com history. Please be patient, well sort it all out, eventually, and everyone who was lucky enough to win something will be notified. Sorry for the delay!

GOG.com: Send an email with the said password in the message topic line to contest@gog.com.
The image says that the subject has to be CROSSWORD, but here you ask us to have a different topic line. Did you mean message content or do I need to resend it?

3 of the vertical ones are no-brainers. Same for the horizontal ones. Add to that the fact that no 2 games share the same number of letters, and it becomes much easier.
Edit: SCPM pointed out that there are 2 vertical games with the same number of letters in them, so my statement above is incorrect.

I like how web 0.1 the crossword is.

Was wondering that too. Think I know what it is :D

Both works, actually, given the circumstances.

EDIT: Corrected the main post for consistency.

Actually 2 of the games down in the middle of the puzzle are the same number of letters, 11. Threw me off a bit putting one of them in the wrong place. >:3
