BWS Puzzle 27: "The Very" Best (RIP)

 

This puzzle is a tribute to a legend who recently passed (RIP). Upon hearing the news, I committed myself to making some kind of tribute puzzle, and I noticed a certain pattern that would make for a good theme. However, the lengths didn't match up too nicely, which is how I ended up with this blatantly asymmetric puzzle in a 15x17 grid. Still, I hope that's not a distraction from the contents of the puzzle and my overall expression of admiration and gratitude for this person.

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

Puzzle 93: Choice Words

I felt inspired to construct over the last few days for the first time in a while and ended up with this wide midi puzzle that's lightly themed and probably not too challenging. I hoped to post this yesterday, Tuesday, but didn't quite finish in time. Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf solve fullscreen solution

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

As I filled in the rest of the grid, I noticed a few chances to include some other entries that "fit" with those two seed entries (hah, seed! ), so that's why I have somewhat contradictorily labeled this post with both the  "themeless" and "mini themes" categories. Still, it's decidedly not a "themed puzzle", and I'm just pointing this out in case you notice the miniature theme and it helps you solve a clue or two. I acknowledge there's an abundance of proper names in this puzzle, so that's why I'm labeling this Extra Hard , even though the rest of the clues are probably more medium-to-hard .  I'm sorry if some of those names get in the way of your solving, but please always feel free to use that Reveal  button liberally! In fact, just the other day I inadvert...
