Puzzle 70: Rhyme Time #15

Long time no see! I'm sharing a new puzzle in the hopes of kickstarting my crossword construction machinery again after a long period of intermittent activity.

I do have a few new crosswords out there since I last posted on this blog:

(You can also find those in a big list on my website of all the mathy crosswords I've published.)

Other than that, though, crosswording has been an occasional solving activity for me in recent months, but not so much a constructing activity. In part, I've been pretty busy with other work and life stuff: for instance, check out my book on voting methods, this teaching presentation, and this website! I also have an amazing 5-year-old daughter who loved the Grids for Kids puzzle pack that came out recently.

All that has made it hard to even keep up with the various crossword subscriptions I do have (recommended: New Yorker, AVCX, Inkubator, luckystreak, various indie blogs), let alone work on making puzzles. But, like I said, I'm hoping to get back into doing this on a regular basis.

So, to warm up, I made a fun, little rhyme time puzzle for y'all. Enjoy the solve, and share if you do!

    I am several weeks behind in solving, so apologies for coming here so late, but you literally crossed my mind yesterday as someone whose puzzles I missed, and here are three of them waiting for me! Very glad for the kickstart

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

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

BWS Puzzle 37: Phrases of Physics

  Huzzah, a full-sized, themed puzzle! I tend to post mostly midi-size puzzles on here, but I doubt there's really a good home elsewhere for this particular puzzle. As the title indicates, you will be well served by any prior knowledge of physics, science, and mathematics, but you don't need  any such expertise to solve the puzzle. It would just really help because, in addition to the theme answers, I peppered the fill with plenty of science-related entries and clues. (In particular, [spoiler alert] you may want to look back to this post about my puzzle on 7xwords for more info about one entry in this puzzle.) You may also notice one blemish of asymmetry here: there's an extra black square just to the left of where 66-Across begins. I didn't need  to add this to make the grid fillable at all, but I did need it to make the entries in that corner more reasonable and science-related. I'm hoping that, like me, you either won't care/notice at all, or you'll thin...
