Cryptic #7: x = 8.15

My Seventh Crossword 


Just a normal one today, after last week's absolute monster. 

Not much to say, other than I really love some of the clues here, despite the presence of an obscure word or two. 

Massive thanks to Jack Keynes for test solving. #8 has been gridded already, so expect it out probably before the month ends.

By the way, I plan to stream maybe once a week at 9:30pm GMT* on Fridays, starting on the 15th. Follow me over on https://twitch.tv/go_away_im_sleeping if you so wish.

Have fun!

*That's 1:30pm in California, 4:30pm in New York, 10:30pm in Western Europe, 5:30am Saturday in Singapore, and 8:30am Saturday in Sydney.

Cryptic #37: How Time Flies

My Thirty-Seventh Crossword Hello.  Sorry for the lack of output - despite my best efforts, I still often face a lot of work. Anyway, this puzzle is dedicated to a few wonderful people, and one solid gold legend in particular, without whom I'd not be nearly as into cryptics as I am now, and I wouldn't know so many of the aforementioned wonderful people. To this community, and its founder in particular, thank you. (The bloke in question is based  here  and here .) Have fun! - GAIS, 12/11/22

Cryptic #25: These Cities Six

  My Twenty-Fifth Crossword IT'S MY FIRST CROSSWORD ANNIVERSARY! To celebrate, here's a grid I've been sitting on for a while. Thank you, everyone, ever so much for all the solves. It means so much to me that what I've created is (hopefully) enriching others' lives. That's one thing I love about setting - aside from all the wordplay involved, you get to create something special and unique, to share with the world. Much like most forms of art. Thanks to Jack Keynes for test-solving. Have fun! - GAIS, 26/09/21 P.S. I'd like to thank every setter I know for inspiring me. I'll attempt naming them all here.
