Weekly Words Week 125

■ · By Cobb County Public Library · Published 2022-08-20T04:00:25.262Z

All good things, even Weekly Words, must eventually come to a close. By the time you read this, I, your Library Puzzlemaster Raymond, will have moved on to a new professional opportunity and will therefore no longer be in a position to continue writing puzzles for CCPL. It has been wonderful to see how what was originally intended as a quick diversion during the most uncertain days of lockdown in 2020 has grown into a fan favorite here on Crosshare (with nearly 12,000 lifetime solves to date!) Please enjoy this special 5-in-1 final puzzle - I hope we 27-Across 27-Across's clue!

    What a great way to finish your run! 4D's clue is so great. Good luck with your future endeavours, and thanks for the crosswords.
    ¡HASTA la proxima!

      I was giggling to myself as I put that one in! It's a fun little reminder that crosswords don't just exist in an abstract vacuum, I think. Thanks for the best wishes!

      The middle mini gave me trouble (especially since I didn't know NABOO and DEION). Luckily I got TWANG by recognizing that this is actually a quintuple Crosswordle, did you include the 5 most recent answers?
      • Raymond Goslow 🤓1:05 · 2022-08-20T15:28:49.902Z
        I'm glad someone recognized that! I had wanted to do some elaborate interconnected theme for the five grids but I just didn't have the time or energy to come up with one. So I figured I would at least throw in a little inside reference like that :D
      • SporcleMirror 🤓6:03 · 2022-08-20T09:10:04.901Z
        5D's clue is also extremely clever, I didn't realize what the clue meant until it clicked after solving.
        • Raymond Goslow 🤓1:05 · 2022-08-20T15:30:09.048Z
          That was definitely not my own invention, but I liked it enough when I saw it somewhere else that I couldn't help but include it!
        • Jen S 🤓7:48 · 2022-08-20T11:49:30.630Z
          Thanks so much, Raymond!

            Thank you so much for sharing all of these wonderful puzzles, and good luck with everything! Way to 27A 27A 😊

              Thank you for the unfailing support, Mike! Very excited to continue following the Crosshare community - maybe now that I'm not constructing all these puzzles I'll have more time to solve more of other people's puzzles, lol!

              It was a good run with good puzzles. Sorry this is ending but best of luck to you!
              • Raymond Goslow 🤓1:05 · 2022-08-20T15:30:49.556Z
                Thanks so much! I've greatly enjoyed my time doing this and I'm glad everyone else enjoyed as well!

                      It was well worth it! Crosswords are a special universal language, I think, and I very much enjoy the way they let me whisper to others. As said, I'll keep doing what I can on my personal page :D

                        Hi everyone! Thanks so much for the kind words 😊 Even though I won't be posting under the CCPL account anymore, I still hope to occasionally post puzzles here on my personal account. So keep an eye on that!

                          Yay, that is great news! I went back through and solved all the Weekly Words I had missed before (which took surprisingly little time due to how smooth your grids always are) and can say I did all 125 !
