Can't See the Forest for the Trees

◆ · Published 2023-12-06T12:30:27.110Z

Another "conceived while walking meta", and hopefully a true Kitten. I had three people test this and all got it immediately and all thought it not terribly challenging but fun. Oh, and you don't have to worry about something sounding like something…

TEA MASCOT

◆ · Published 2023-11-29T12:30:25.779Z

This little meta is something silly that I came up with on a whim. It is probably not more than a level 1, but given that many are working on a real week 4 Matt Gaffney I am sure a more solveable diversion will be appreciated.
The meta answer is a…

Do Over

◆ · Published 2023-11-22T12:30:54.569Z

This puzzle came to being after I was influenced by solving a different puzzle and having some word play fun with its creator. I am sure you will all recognize its roots almost immediately. The mechanism is not the same but it is quite simple all the…

Vicious Circle

I am going to beg for forgiveness up front...
I have had this meta waiting for this time period for quite a while. Problem is that it is, I have been told, rather challenging. I did not want to post it on a week 4 MG and WSJ (though WSJ was pretty…

Let My People Go

◆ · Published 2023-10-25T11:30:08.449Z

Well hello! It has indeed been a while, and BenChen has filled in more than admirably, but now it's me again. This is another that came to me while walking the neighborhood, but I assure you not stimulated by street signs. It may be a touch more…

Do You Give Up?

◆ · Published 2023-09-27T11:30:33.658Z

OK, let's see if I can publish one that doesn't need to be corrected soon after it goes live! This should be a fairly easy puzzle, though I have some doozies coming up!!

*Calico

Puma
Lion
Now I say that with some trepidation because…

Social Climbers CORRECTED

◆ · Published 2023-09-20T13:29:04.280Z

This is a correction to the original puzzle that, due to an editing change that went unnoticed, made the puzzle impossible to solve. Pleas accept my apologies and use this one instead.
You've had a break from Tomisms for a few weeks, but your luck…

Face the Music

◆ · Published 2023-08-30T11:30:55.301Z

Even if you are not Bill or Ted you might still have to face the music, and you certainly do in this Wednesday offering. I got a lot of help with this one from Al Sisti, and I think it might be a tad harder than some of my usual offerings. Still, it…

LIFELINE

◆ · Published 2023-08-23T04:10:37.686Z

Dr. Tom and Wendy teamed up on this week's puzzle. At the reveal next week, Dr. Tom will share with you its unusual origin story. It should not be difficult for solvers to determine which constructor crafted which clues. Thank you to Al Sisti, our…

Sound Advice

You’ve had a DrTom holiday with some really good puzzles from other constructors, but your luck has run out. As usual, this came to me while doing another puzzle and thinking, “hey I’ll bet that could be a mechanism”. My testers (Wendy, Whimsy, Cinny…
