Themelessish (with Brian Thomas)
Some puzzles have themes, and some puzzles don’t, and some puzzles are in a weird liminal place, like this one. Also, this was my first collaborative puzzle! It’s by me and Brian Thomas, whose puzzles can be found on Puzzles that Need a Home. Brian was a lot of fun to collaborate with, and definitely pushed me to find things I might not have looked for on my own. So yes, enjoy the puzzle, check out Brian’s back catalogue, and hang out with us on my daily crossword stream (11am Eastern, 8am Pacific).
Fleet? Weak.
Twitter, stop trying to make fleet happen, it’s not going to happen.
An assortment of fruit (Mikeystyle #16)
I will never stop making clues about how many great songs are called “Crazy”. NEVER.
Mixtape
We’re doing this again! Remember last time? Yeah.
Same rules apply: Across clues are normal. Down clues need to be split into two clues and repunctuated. The answer to one of these clues goes in the circled squares, and the other goes in the uncircled squares.
(For example: “School group gossip” might give you FISH (“school group”) and DISH (“gossip”). You’d still have to figure out which of those answers goes in the circled squares.)
