Gridzilla Puzzles

  Hi! Exciting news! I went to Boswords and competed in the Pairs division! AND GUESS  WHAT  My team got 1st place!!! I could tell a bunch a long tournament stories (including one about Steamed Hams ), but that would take up three whole pages. So instead, here's an acrostic. Enjoy! SOURCE

  Hello there! Today's puzzle is a themeless, a sort of "spiritual sequel" to Puzzle #9. It uses the same grid as well. This is the 3rd time I've used this grid. Can we start a petition to call it a Harrison in the vein of a Pasco ? I upped the scrabbliness this time around and kept the difficulty relatively the same.   Happy solving!

  Hello! I made this puzzle 20 minutes before posting this in an effort to challenge my efficiency in constructing. The seeds were two 2026 related answers which made me work with an asymmetrical grid. It's still pretty open and has some good fill, so I'm counting this challenge as accomplished. Enjoy!

                                                       Hi! I'm excited to post this puzzle, which required a bit of time to produce. It has a bit of a theme, but I think it'll feel more like a themeless.

Hi! I have a smaller puzzle on the blog today, a 10x5. Not much to say here other than: Go solve it! PDF PUZ Made by Harrison Walden with the crossword puzzle maker from Amuse Labs

Hi! Happy National Caesar Salad Day, to those who celebrate. New acrostic on the block today. I'd say it's a bit harder than the second one. As promised, the answer to last post's riddle:  They are all directors who have won the Oscar for Best Director and the Razzie for Worst Director. Tom Hooper and Cats (2019) were the inspiration for the riddle. Thanks for reminding me to put "DIGITAL FUR" into my mental wordlist, you two. Also, if you'd rather not do a puzzle today, check out The Failure Museum ! I've never been so impressed and disappointed with the human race at the same time! There's even entries for the fake companies on Silicon Valley  ! Here's the acrostic:

  Hey! Sorry for the radio silence! I took a bit of a break considering I had 6 (!) posts last month. This next puzzle (a themeless) has the same grid as Puzzle #9 with some scrabblier fill. I'd say it's about a Friday difficulty. 30-Across was the seed for this puzzle, and I chose 14-Down once I had a good clue for it. I thought the seed would be a very timely answer to put in, considering it started this year. That said, I'd like to clarify that I don't support it. You also might have noticed that I'm working more with misdirection recently. I hope that one day I can make a Saturday+ puzzle, but for now I'm taking baby steps. I also have a riddle this week. The answer will be in the next post. What connects these four people? 1. Francis Ford Coppola 2. Michael Cimino 3. Kevin Costner 4.
