All Together and All Backwards

Hello! It is crazy to say this, but it turns out the first crossword on this blog was posted exactly one year ago on May 29, 2022. WTF?? How did this happen?? I am very grateful to have been able to share my ridiculous puzzles with you. And even more crazily, I have collaborated on puzzles that have actually run in newspapers (???). Ridiculous!

With that said, I think I need to take a short break. To be honest with you, I am having trouble coming up with ideas! And there are other things that need attention. So most likely I will skip the next two week mark, and have my goal to have a new puzzle on June 25.

But in the meantime, I want to give you two new puzzles to solve! These puzzles go together and a have a theme that I am quite certain will not make any sense to anyone. Once you're done with them, this video should hopefully explain everything.

Thank you to the one and only Quiara Vasquez for the test solve! Please enjoy!

Sick Puzzle, Bro

Image
Hello! Today we have a very special puzzle, a collobaration with none other than Norah Sharpe ! Norah and I have collaborated on a number of puzzles and working with her is always a joy and a privilege. She basically sent me the entire grid and theme already made and asked me if I wanted to work on it. I am lucky to have a friend like Norah in my life! You can see above that there will hopefully be a Babka and Roxie collab in the future. Norah says: "I love making puzzles with Dan! You've already seen us three times at LAT and once at Universal (and more new places to come!) so I can't believe this is my first appearance on babka's blog!! So excited 🙂 🙂 🙂 This one came about because one of us said something dumb in a twitch chat - imagine that! Thanks to Will for the test, and make sure you check out his kickin' new Browser ."

Street Finder (Semi-Themeless #3)

Image
Hello! I am pleased to tell you that we have moved to our new place in New York. Babka is seen here looking out our new window. So far he likes to look at the birds on the fire escape and the street sweepers. Paprika is hiding under the bed mostly but comes out for food. We're doing okay! So far I am having an issue where I do not know where things are yet. In order to help myself, I created this grid to remember where some of the streets are. However the theme here is barely noticeable so the whole thing is now another semi-themeless. Norah test solved it, I hope you enjoy it! [ .puz ][ Direct Crosshare link ]
