crossword puzzles

I got into the habit of doing multiple crossword puzzles a day during the pandemic then decided to try my hand at constructing my own over the summer. I've posted some of them here if anyone's interested. Generally, the only ones I don't post there are the standard 15x15 puzzles, on the chance that the NYT or WaPo or WSJ will pay me for them. Everything else is free for anyone to try.

Cool; I'll have to give it a look. I wrote a few crossword puzzles in college for the Technique, Georgia Tech's school newspaper.

Here's one I wrote for a scavenger hunt:

I used to think I was pretty good at crosswords. Then someone I was seeing (lol why do we use that euphemism anyhow?) got hold of a Times of London crossword and we sat down with it and gave up pretty quickly, it was humiliating.

Very cool. I haven't yet been published in a newspaper, but that's a goal if I can get a little better at it.

They do those cryptic crosswords, right? That really does require a different skill set. Each clue is like 3 different riddles, and half of the letters in the grid only appear in a single word, so it doesn't even help you much when you do figure out one of them. Not my cup of...let's say coffee.

I’m a cryptoholic. Love ‘em.

nice job but I can now recall why i stopped doing them.

I sucked at them and just get frustrated.

Back to paint by numbers for me..(JUST KIDDING) I am still learning my numbers

It'd be fun if you could do an all baseball puzzle.

+1 agreed

Pretty sure I could make one with a baseball theme but probably not one that's exclusively baseball content. Anyway, I'll share it here if I do come up with a decent baseball-themed puzzle.

if you could we would appreciate it

But since I do bad on Trivia here I might need help :)

I've put together a baseball crossword puzzle as requested. This one's locked so it doesn't show up in my public list, but you can access it with the link below. Note that 10 Down and 24 Across are light cryptic-style clues since we have at least one fan.

They have them in old baseball digests. I also had picked up a few books over the years of all baseball crosswords. Also got baseball sudoku. I really got into it a few years ago.

Good one! I gave up on the last two words but I enjoyed it a lot..... Rocky

Just made a smaller one that might appeal to the Net54 crowd.
