In response to your requests for better prizes and more chances to win, we’ve been working overtime to make popular titles including Findaword, Cluewords and Code Cracker Starhunts shine more brightly. We’ve made significant changes to each, effective from April 8 (Findaword 72 & Cluewords 85) and April 22 (Code Cracker Starhunts 55).

Here’s a summary of improvements:

Findaword will still have four competitions: Match-Ups, Findaword, Photofind and Monster Findaword; but the latter now lives up to its name boasting a Monster Prize Pool, jackpot style competition. On offer are entertainment, homewares or knowledge packages – each valued at $1000. And that’s not all: four lucky runners-up will also receive fabulous Canon Powershot digital cameras. And to keep pace with tech-savvy puzzlers like yourself, you can submit jackpot entries via SMS.

The 16 page middle section has also undergone a facelift with a colour change to improve readability. Read more about this title

Cluewords will still have three competitions, but there’ll now be a greater mix of Electronics, Movie Passes and Dictionaries to be won. Again, we’ve introduced the Monster Prize Pool, a jackpot-style competition with the chance to win your choice of three fantastic prize packs valued at $1000. Four lucky runners-up will also win an exciting major prize. Changes will be effective with Issue 85 on-sale April 8.

Alice in Wonderland - Synopsis

This epic 3D fantasy adventure stars JOHNNY DEPP as the Mad Hatter and MIA WASIKOWSKA as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter.

Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. The all-star cast also includes ANNE HATHAWAY, HELENA BONHAM CARTER and CRISPIN GLOVER. The screenplay is by Linda Woolverton.

Capturing the wonder of Lewis Carroll’s beloved “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865) and “Through the Looking-Glass” (1871) with stunning, avant-garde visuals and the most charismatic characters in literary history, ALICE IN WONDERLAND comes to the big screen in Disney Digital 3D™ on March 4, 2010.
