UK 1K+ Cities Triple Blackout

Directions

Fill in the 25 squares with 3 1K+ UK cities based on the categories in the top row and the geographical location given in the cell. For example, if you are looking at a cell with ‘South East England’ in its row, and ‘2+ Words’ in the column, that cell can be filled in with ‘Milton Keynes.’

Occasionally a cell may not have any qualifying answer, in which case it will be filled in bright green and be a gimme. Cells with two answers left will have a very dark green background, those with one answer left more of an evergreen shade, and finally bright green for those which have been completed. Some cells with only 1 or 2 valid answers will start with a green shade corresponding to how many answers are left.

The possible regions of the UK for the rows are: West Midlands, Scotland, Yorkshire and the Humber, North West England, South West England, East Midlands, Wales/Cymru, Northern Ireland, North East England, South East England and East of England.

hugequiz Premium members will see missed answers in red – they will be the largest city which qualified in each cell. Only one missed answer per cell shown.
