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 32: Midi Themeless #14

  Another midi-sized themeless puzzle with diagonal symmetry! This one is 11x11, and it all started with the diagonally crossing entries 38-Across and 9-Down. 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...
