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!

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 #34: A Dish Best Served Lukewarm

My Thirty-Fourth Crossword No, it's not mashed potatoes. It's another GAIS crossword. As 34 is not a multiple of 3, this crossword doesn't have a theme that requires you to change clues or answers. But it does have a gimmick which I think is very fun, and for which others will probably start to hate me. Otherwise, I'm very proud of some of the clues here. They were a lot of fun to put together. And aside from the, erm, schtick, I don't think they're terribly difficult, as they have been in other recent grids. Thank you to Jack Keynes for test-solving. Next Friday is a special day, and in commemoration, I will have a crossword out on MyCrossword : the best grid I've ever written, according to Mental Playground, so watch that space.   Have fun! - GAIS, 09/04/22
