I'm still trying my hand at 15x themelesses, but the last few have been fairly challenging, so I tried to grid & clue this one more towards  medium  difficulty. I rather like this grid shape and the flow it produces, and I was happy to squeeze in a bunch of music references and Boston-area stuff, too.

This never happens these days, but I'm back later in the week with another themeless! I threw this one together while away on vacation 🦃, so please pardon any typos or other unintended challenges. Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf fullscreen solution

Still ridin' the themeless train! I started this one with the three 15s running across (and their clues), then just tried to keep the corners wide open and free of "cheater squares." This is probably one of the more challenging themelesses I've made, especially lately, so I'm labelling this extra hard . Let me know how it goes...

Felt like using 16s in a themeless for some reason, especially those two stacked in the middle. Ended up with this even-by-even grid: 14 rows and 16 columns. Would you call that 14x16 or 16x14 ? (I'm inclined to the former, by mathematical convention .) Anyway, enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf fullscreen solution

I started making this with the 15s across the middle, and somehow it turned into a taller (16 rows) grid with lots of little nooks. And with 75 words, I had a lot of fun writing all these clues, where you'll find some recurring references and other silliness. Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf fullscreen solution

Been on a 15x15 themeless kick lately, both in solving and constructing, so here's another one from me. Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf fullscreen solution

Something different today: a 7x7 easy, themed mini designed for kids! My daughter is off to kindergarten in a few weeks (😲) so I've been spending a lot of time with her this summer (🤗). She has enjoyed working on the Grids for Kids puzzle pack  with me, so I wanted to make a special puzzle just like those but with some of her interests included. The paired theme answers here (9-Across and 12-Across) fit together well and reference some books she has been loving, too. She ended up "solving" the puzzle with lots of guidance from me, but I do believe it's doable by anyone who is able to read the clues. (If you're so inclined, please try it for yourself and let me know what you think about the age-level.) Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf fullscreen solution

I made this puzzle a while ago as part of a pack of themed puzzles for the Redstone  puzzle app but totally forgot they don't allow oversized grids, like this 16x15 one. So, I'll just share it here for y'all to enjoy, while also saying... You can now find a bunch of new puzzles from me  on the Redstone  app! Just like the last time I released some puzzles there , you'll find two packs: 15x15, themed, medium difficulty: This pack contains 10 puzzles with themes of various kinds -- some wordplay, some trivia -- but nothing super tricky. If a theme felt too easy, I tried to balance it out with some more challenging fill, aiming for a "medium" solving experience overall. 7x7, themeless, hard difficulty:  Each of the 25 themeless mini puzzles in this pack has a bunch of 7-letter entries (for fun and tricky cluing) and 3-letter entries (to help you get a foothold while solving). (If there's enough interest, I could make those puzzles available in puz or pdf for...

Took a few weeks off, but I'm back with a 15x themeless! Construction started with the 1-Across/54-Across combo, then some of the criss-crossing 15s, and then everything else fell into place. This ended up with a pretty low word count (an ol' 66er ) so I tried to crank up the clue difficulty to match, hence the categorization as "extra hard." Please let me know if this ended up too  hard (or still too easy?). Enjoy the solve, and share if you do! puz pdf fullscreen solution
