  Yes, you read that title correctly.  Hey! It's been a minute but here's one of a few late-month additions to the blog.

In other news, I'm also doing the Boswords Fall Themeless League. Exciting!

  Benvenuti! Wishing you a paw-some National Dogs in Politics Day!  The puzzle I have on the docket today is a ✨64-word✨ themeless. I'll be honest: The fill is not as good as the past puzzles and there are a few dupes. I still enjoy how it turned out, especially in regards to the cluing. Well that's my personal puzzle quota (PPQ) met for the month! See you in October! Favorite Clues/Answers: 1-Across, 29-Across, 31-Across, 45-Across, 47-Across, 49-Across, 11-Down, 22-Down, 31-Down, 45-Down Post-Solve Links:  43-Across , 2-Down , 22-Down , 31-Down , 45-Down PDF PUZ

Puzzle #24: Not Another Themeless Puzzle!

-
Image
  I don't even know how this one happened. The seeds just randomly appeared to me in a conversation about music that I associate with the style of the aughts. A few hours of filling later... and I made this incredibly wonky grid. It took me a good bit of time to clue this, with a Saturday-level difficulty in mind. I think it's Saturday+ if you don't know any of the pop culture, Saturday- if you do. Enjoy! EDIT: Hey, this is an almost pangram! Fun stuff! Wait! Don't forget to take an obscure TV rec before you go!

Puzzle #23: Noe Valley (Get it?)

  DJ 21-Down ! Tearin' it up!!! Hey, everybody! If you haven't noticed by now, I've been setting a high bar for myself. 14 posts in the last two months! That's, like, way too much. Anyway, I'm dealing with a lot of non-crossword stuff right now, so my posting level is going to drop down to about 3 per month, hopefully. My goal is to have 30 crosswords on the blog by the time of Gridzilla's 1st anniversary.  Alright, I know what you're thinking. "Get to the puzzle, I don't have all day!"  Well, here's a 15x15 themed puzzle, a first for me. I think the grid filled ridiculously well and I was able to fit in some pretty good clues. Enjoy! Favorite Clues/Answers: 5-Across, 22-Across, 51-Across, 4-Down, 8-down Post-Solve Links: 22-Across , 41-Across , 1-Down , 40-Down ,  TITLE PDF PUZ

  Hey! Did you know I still make themed puzzles and not just adequate themelesses and acrostics?  Well I do! This one isn't much, but I'm proud of it. Enjoy! Favorite Answer/Clue: Gotta be 8-Across/38-Across. And 44-Down as a quasi-revealer. P.S. Go listen to the soundtrack of The Christophers , a new favorite of mine. PPS: PDF PUZ

Acrostic #5

-
Image
Hi! This acrostic was brought into the world for three reasons. 1. I love the quote.   2. I love the series                                                 3. I wanted to use a screenshot from Grand Theft Auto ( No, the other one ) in the post.  Anyway, easily the best acrostic I've made yet. It's so good I'm flipping out over it! Sorry, couldn't help myself! Enjoy!
