BWS Puzzle 1: Medium Shade

First puzzle to share! After years of making crosswords with mathematical themes (and, most recently, making a ton of 10x10s), I wanted to jump back into making standard puzzles.

This is a 15x15 whose theme was inspired by reading books with my 3-year-old daughter at bedtime. My guess for the difficulty is a tough Tuesday, but I'm open to discussion on that.

Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! Constructive feedback in the comments is always welcome.

Puzzle 92: Take a Break

Just a quick break from themelesses for this silly little puzzle, inspired by a phrase that came up in conversation. Warning: one theme entry has some vulgar language; not recommended for kids. Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf fullscreen solution

Puzzle 91: Themeless #23

  I was almost halfway through cluing (an early version of) this when I noticed a short word in the grid duping part of a longer entry. See if you can guess what used to be at 1-Across before I had to rework that section... (Also, does anyone else have trouble deciding whether a ?  is warranted for a clue? There are some obvious, punny cases, but other times it feels like it comes down to a matter of how easily I think a solver will spot a misdirection or some kind of unexpected usage, and that's hard to do sometimes.) Anyway, enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf fullscreen solution
