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).
Things are as they seem (guest puzzle by Brooke Husic)
What? A guest puzzle!? Absolutely, especially when it’s made by the great Brooke Husic, whose puzzles are always delightfully tricky but fair. Is there anything particularly tricky about this one? It’s called “Things are as they seem”, and I did a quick check on the solution and everything is spelled correctly and looks normal enough to me! Now let’s see if I can figure out how to attach a guest puzzle here…
[Hrm. Well, here’s a pdf if you need one.]
Right now
If all has gone according to plan, as of right now I have a new guest puzzle being hosted by Sid Sivakumar’s site sidsgrids.com (sung of in meme and legend). It’s called “Right now”. You should play it right now. Enjoy.
Everything changed (Mikeystyle #9)
If you know what this puzzle is about, it shouldn’t be too hard; if you don’t know what this puzzle is about, you should probably head over to Netflix or something first.
(Unrelatedly, if you don’t know the song in 2-Down, well, it’s great (also this will spoil the clue).)
