An old-fashioned puzzle

Will Eisenberg came out with a fun and timely puzzle, and my response was: Well, good, now I don’t have to make that puzzle!

But then I decided to do it anyway. Except, you know, I’m famously very old-school, very traditional in my puzzle-making. So it came out a little different.

Once again, no playtesters were bothered in the making of this puzzle. Solve at your own risk.

A rich beverage

Hi there! I made this puzzle real quick to amuse/torture my husband Mikey on a Twitch stream tonight. He streams 7:30pm Eastern on Wednesdays, and lately I’ve been joining him about once a month to do crosswords.

No one has tested this puzzle, and it might not be well tuned for anyone but Mikey, but if you decide to do it, have fun! And if you happen to stream it, let me know.

Unhelpful

I can’t let 2024 end without publishing a single crossword here, can I? I did put out a Lil AVC X puzzle a few months ago. Hopefully you all played that one. That one got lovingly edited by Will Eisenberg. This one? Absolutely not. Editing ideally helps a puzzle out, or helps its solvers out. But this puzzle is committed to being unhelpful.

(If you stream it, thank you, and of course let me know!)

The little big one

Hi. Long time no see. Is this little puzzle my big return? We’ll see. Anyway, enjoy the puzzle. I have not asked anyone to playtest it and it is probably impossible. But it’s so little that it’s probably not a big deal.
