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. Agnijo, Enterta, Liari, Angel, TeamCrazyMatt, The Void, Skirwingle, Conto, Raider, Quince, Steve Mossberg, ScottHasFun, Liam Runnalls, Michael X, Avid, David Astle, Eccles, BlueJay, Elgel, Elwood, Chameleon, Picaroon, Danny Vibes, LowDown Letterbanks, Panthera, Nordloc, Phyphor, Laguna, Somsram, JimJar, BrknFixie, ChocChip, NoFeetMcGee, Navy.

Cryptic #24: A Fly in the Alphabet Soup

My Twenty-Fourth Crossword Hello everyone. It's been a while. Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of my publishing a cryptic crossword (though not if you look at the dates on this blog. Timezones, anyone?). Yay. This one is another alphabet cryptic, made in 18 hours, after a week of agony trying to grid another alphabet cryptic with a monstrous theme. Thanks to Jack Keynes for test-solving. Maths is fascinating. And scary. Have fun!  - GAIS, 25/09/21
