Pentadecaphilia

My new puzzle is in another castle. Or rather, it’s over at Paolo Pasco’s site! It’s a companion piece to the puzzle that Ada Nicolle hosted a little while ago, as both are playing with a similar crossword convention, inspired by a certain channel on the Crosscord server. It’s a tremendous honour to be hosted by Paolo, and so yeah, go check out the rest of the site once you’re there, in the unlikely case that you haven’t already.

Will Mikey be made to solve the puzzle on my stream this morning? Oh, probably…

Throne throne? (Mikeystyle #8)

Another Mikeystyle puzzle, built around an old song he’s a big fan of. Listen to it when you’re done (though it’s obviously a spoiler.)

I was too tired to write clues, so I entered the answers into GIPHY and just used the results. Sorry.

(Behind the scenes: I wrote this puzzle a few weeks ago, but PuzzleMe had a feature where it would automatically pop up the images to take over the screen in a way that was very frustrating. When I asked them about it, they said they were planning on changing it up real soon. And so they have! In the meantime, Amanda Rafkin put out a puzzle with images for clues the other day, so go play that one too.)

For Will ediger

Will (who makes great puzzles!) said that his computer has a particular key that’s a bit borked. This makes it harder for him to do crosswords. So this puzzle is for him! I’ll keep quiet about which of his keys is defective.

Sweet intuition (Mikeystyle #7)

I got sick, and it was no fun, but I’m on the mend. Anyway, this was a little late. Mikey found 1-Across very, very easy; hopefully you’ll be able to figure out even if you don’t recognize it.
