Mental Floss is featuring a crossword puzzle which they’re calling The World’s Geekiest Crossword Puzzle.  The trick is that the puzzle is not in English or any natural language for that matter.  To complete the puzzle, you will have to enter words in Esperanto, Klingon, Elvish, and other languages that people just made up.  There are only eight clues for the entire puzzle.  Each clue tells you a little bit about the language the answer will be in.  This is the most interesting part of the puzzle, as there are likely languages included that you’ve never heard of before.  Solving it, for most people, would be mostly a matter of research.  Looking up the correct phrase in each language.

Found through BoingBoing.
