The Seventh Note

Hello, I hope you are well! We have been trying to get cozy as fall somehow keeps happening. Today's puzzle was actually inspired by something that happened while trying to clue my last puzzle. Mild spoiler but I needed to come up with tea-based puns, and unfortunately I came up with a few truly awful ones based off of pop songs. What's worse, they were all different lengths so I needed to come up with an asymmetrical grid to make them work. By all rights this puzzle should not exist! ...and yet!!

Thanks once again to Ann Snowhill aka Lohan Reborn for test solving. I hope you 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 ]
