Americanism #1: They're All Over

My First American Crossword

EXAMS ARE OVER!!! For now, at least.

I think they went decently, on the whole. The sciences and English I was worried over, but I think I pulled them off in the end.

Anyway, to celebrate, have an *American* crossword. I know, right?

Thank you so much to Hagabaka, Quiara, Jack Keynes and MentalPlayground for test solving; however, also thank you to Scoots Baboo, Steve Mossberg, NerdlyWisdom, Avid, Michael X, and Jamie, Matthew, Rachel, Isabel, David and Emily (my American relatives) for getting me into American crosswords. Only now have I discovered just how much fun they are.

Have fun!

    Nearly completed it; just the crossing of 33d and 42a that meant absolutely nothing to me! :-D

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
