Frequently Asked Questions

(This page will be updated over time as we receive more questions!)

Does your focus on local solvers mean people shouldn't travel in?

Not at all. While we are very happy to be providing an in-person tournament experience for people who aren't able to make it to east coast events, we welcome solvers from all over!

Are you looking for volunteers?

Yes! We are looking for volunteers to fill a number of roles.

• Registration: greeting competitors and distributing information packets

• Proctoring: handing out blank puzzles and gathering completed puzzles

• Scoring: checking completed puzzles for errors

• And more things that we probably haven’t thought of yet!

If you’d like to volunteer, please send us an e-mail at  westwordsbestwords@gmail.com with the word “volunteer” in the subject line and which role(s) interests you in the body of the email.
