Themeless #1

Hello, I think it's time for a proper themeless! Don't you?? This puzzle has 70 words and is my first stab at making a themeless grid and puzzle. I'm hoping there I'll be able to make more. Thanks so much to Will Eisenberg for the test solve!

Hello again! As punishment for obliquely referring to my puzzles as "art" in the last post, I've decided that every stupid idea I have is going to become a crossword. That'll teach me!!

I really want to stress that this puzzle was made in less than 24 hours. Try to enjoy!!

Themeless #7

Hello! This is a puzzle I started like a month ago, but didn't finish cluing until this week. There's some heavy stuff in the next paragraph, skip it if you just want a (hopefully) fun crossword. As it happens I am severely depressed, and I cannot stop the flow of negative thoughts.

I believe all of this, and yet - I'm going to fucking make crosswords??? Really??? This is the problem. But I talked to my dear friend Joe , who told me that while crosswords may be insignificant, making and solving them h...

Here's The Story

Hello! I will be the first to say that I think this puzzle is a bit insane. I'm not quite sure why it exists. A lot of times I will hear a song and then feel like I need to make a puzzle out of it; I would say (without checking) that's probably a majority of the puzzles I've done. This one also has a meta element to it, but I'm not bothering to have it test solved so I don't actually know if it's possible to figure out. Oh well! I probably could have taken my time to perfect the theme and/or done a better job, but for some reason I felt compelled to get this out as quickly as possible. Let me know if you solve, I would love your feedback! [ .puz ] [ Direct Crosshare link ]
