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 #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.
