Tricky one! I figured out the NW rebus but wanted the SE one to be ANDSCENE 😅

Cornered

Agh! I before E in BESIEGED 😂. Nice one - I liked CATLUIGI

What Goes Around Comes Around

OK, maybe that doesn't look exactly like a CROSSBOW but it's close 😛

Nice diagonal symmetry! Got a little stuck at 14D, but still a great puzzle!

Thanks Paul! You made quick work of it 🔥

Bolt From the Blue (themeless)

OK my answer for the meta is >!Professor Plum!< with the >!lead pipe!< in the >!lounge!<? I feel good about who and what, but where...

Tim Roth didn’t direct Luce. Is that part of the meta, finding errors or just a mistake?

Whoops! Should say "starring" not "directed". Good catch. Not part of the meta.

Multiple Choice

Ha you really got be with the clue for ODDS - nice one! I'm not a Smash bro so NESS and LUCAS were tough

One of my favorite clues I've written :D Thanks for doing my puzzle!

Lucky for me the S was right in LUCA? NE?S

One for the Super Smash Bros

Great puzzle Andrew! I got stuck on RUEHL / UOMO. Enjoyed the theme!

A couple tough spots/odd words!!

Clever theme though

Great theme and clever clueing! REAMS, TEA, and HOWABOUTYOU were all great! Just a few tricky crossings in there.

Raise the Stakes

Ah! I misspelt ONEAL - great puzzle will!

Thanks! You're not the only one - that A is a common edit!

I think the 22A clue should be “some wedding guests.”  Presently stumped on the meta.

Good catch- I had in my mind that an "invite" could be a person or an invitation, but apparently it's only the invitation.

Another fun solve but meta is eluding me... hmmm 🤔

Will's Weekly Meta: Mathemountains Out of Molehills

Great puzzle! Going to take some more thinking to get the meta :)

SW corner gave me the most trouble... meta is eluding me at the moment

Will's Weekly Meta: Lines of Reasoning

Avid listener to all things MBMBAM & realized TROLLSWORLDTOUR(15) could be a fun seed. This is my first 15x15 so cons criticism appreciated!

Me too!  I had a solid belly laugh when I realized I INSTANTLY knew the answer.

Great puzzle Keith! I loved the clue for RAWR and the grid as a whole had tons of fun fill. I got stuck in the SE corner

Great words and phrases all around! TrollsWorldTour made me laugh :) ! I personally don't know many names so SNOW and IRONS clues were rough

Themeless #1

Finally got the meta - won't give it away here, but very fun!

Had to google the three leftovers to get the meta (hard to know where themes are when they’re only 2- or 3-letters long!)

Heh I had to do a bit of googling to get the meta as well

Now that there is support for spoiler text, the answer to the meta is >!Pearls Before Swine!<

Mid-Year's Resolution

Another quick test puzzle for custom sizes. I don't love the EYRA/AKC/NSEC crosses but hopefully you figured it out!

Not the nicest of grids but the software seemed to work with this odd size.

Heh yeah TBH I made this one more to test the odd size than anything else. Oh well!

If you're okay with more *modern* slang words, WEEK could be WEEB and AKC would be ABC. Great puzzle with a fun shape though!

ABC would be an improvement I think! Thanks for solving it!

What's the Skinny?

This is a quick one I created to test Crosshare's support for non-square grids. Please LMK if you notice anything amiss in the interface!

Was actually wondering if odd sizes would be possible in the constructor!! Glad to see it’s a feature coming

It should be live now, feel free to give it a go!

Nine to Five

Great puzzle! I had LAP for TAP 🤦‍♂️

Pick’em Up

I was today years old when I found out Sarah McLachlan wasn’t saying “Maybe I do believe I failed you / Maybe I know I’ve let you down...”

Haha it's always good to learn something new while solving!

Themeless Midi #2

Nice one Harley! Took me a while to work out

BROWN and TROUT might be a really tough cross to work out

Couldn't get the 1 down, 4 across pairing :/ Fun though! Learning something new

Good puzzle! The "e" at the end of blonde threw me off, since I think an e is for women and no e for men. Otherwise very nice!

Semi-Randomness

Crosshare's first midi puzzle 🎉 - hope you enjoy!

Themeless Midi

It seems every commercial now mentions these UNCERTAINTIMES so I guess I thought some crosswords should too

The times are also CHALLENGING and UNPREDICTABLE... great puzzle!

Splendid puzzle, relevant & flowing theme, awesome job with this one!

Took me several looks to figure out how the starred clues tied to SOCIALDISTANCE (even tried counting squares). They’re all SOCIAL _____?

What I was trying for is that the themers are keeping their distance from the word social 😂

Amazing theme! I didn't notice the revealer at first and was very confused on some of the starred clues, but then it all clicked!

Preventative measures

The theme was inspired by my goal to read all of the PULITZERWINNERS for fiction. Lots more work to do there but hope the puzzle was fun! 📚

Thanks! Not too many people have solved it without check/reveal - nice job!
