I couldn't figure out this Capn Rick meta, https://crosshare.org/crosswords/fJCfC9hD0mDjOtyUdxhK/echo-location, so I made up this puzzle instead using the mechanism I wanted that puzzle to have.
This was a hard grid to fill and I apologize for some o...
This is an idea for something different. I enjoy pub trivia and wonder how it would go over if at the start of a trivia night a simple meta puzzle would be handed out and the teams given the length to the quiz night to complete it. The problem of c...
Not sure what to do with this one. There was a reason for the bars rather than squares. Constructing with bars show is different. It's far more flexible but somehow seems far less elegant. And hard to read. I may redo this with squares. I had a...
This came to me after a trivia question that was right up my alley on Tuesday. This may be one of my better puzzles. I think the theme and mechanism is clever and there are other hints to the answer that you may be able to guess without even doing ...
Models by which all others are periodically measured
◆ · Published 19 days ago
This is a correction to my puzzles: https://crosshare.org/crosswords/vHWQ59aV3gTNGvnKZdK8/models-by-which-all-others-are-periodically-measured which is a meta puzzle that had a fatal flaw. (Still doable and fun, but notably has a fatal error).
I'm hoping this one may weaken my reputation of being gnarly. .... Oh, well...., the answer is a bit of a twist in that it's not really the "answer" but... well, you'll figure it out. I guess that counts as "gnarly".
Still it should be relatively pain...
This may be my most ambitious meta.
This was a learning experience but what I learned is not that pleasant.
I learned when a constructor sets himself up with an intricate problem of creating a puzzle that cleverly follows an intricate mechanism and...
This is my attempt at a week 1. It may not be because the themers might be too hard to find. But it still shouldn't be any harder than a week 2, I hope.
I came up with this concept as part of my "So many rabbit holes" puzzle but it became a puzzle o...
This is my attempt at a Week 5. It may not be because the themers might be too easy to find. But it still shouldn't be any easier than a week 4, I hope.
I came up with this idea when I had a familiar frustration trying to solve a meta and a thought
There's a bit of creative licensing in the meta answer. And the mechanism requires a bit of out of the box thinking.
Anyway, to my surprise one of the hardest parts of constructing a crossword is making a grid pattern that feels natural and works. T...
