Cryptic #22: Strawberry Jam

  My Twenty-Second Crossword Hello everyone. Happy birthday Jamie! Here's a crossword with a rather naff, but necessary, grid shape. Thanks to Jack Keynes for test-solving. Have fun! - GAIS, 30/07/21

Tidbits: Sensation of Elation (Novelty Puzzle)

Image
Hello. As 21 is a multiple of 7, here's something different. Here is a puzzle that I wrote some time ago, and properly formatted this week, including a further bit of puzzling to do. Let's hope this is solvable. Here's an image version: Alternatively, solve this directly on the spreadsheet: let's hope  this  works. Feel free to DM your answers to me on Twitter (@GA_ImSleeping) and tell me how you get on. See you Friday. Have fun! - GAIS, 25/07/21

Cryptic #21: London England

  My Twenty-First Crossword Hello! As you may or may not have seen, this Tuesday I visited every London borough. Here is a LARGE cryptic crossword (21 squares by 21 squares) to commemorate that feat. This is my first one larger than 15 by 15, so be nice. For the non-London-nerds amongst you, I will permit your looking up of a list of London boroughs, as you probably don't know them all. (Who on earth has heard of Havering? Or Bexley? Seriously.)  Thanks to Jack for test solving, and for having a stroke of genius on 66-across.  Cryptic #22 is already clued, and set for release in a week and a bit... but I digress. Have fun!  - GAIS, 18/07/21

Cryptic #20: The Onion Diaries

  My Twentieth Crossword Hello everyone. Yesterday I visited all 32 London boroughs in one day, becoming hopefully the fourth person to do so. Here's an entirely unrelated cryptic crossword. Have fun! - GAIS, 14/07/21

Collaboration #1: Movie Stars

  Teamwork Makes the Scheme Work      Hello all! I have only clued the down clues in this grid. The ever-clever  Travisty  clued the acrosses, and the brilliant  Jack Keynes  gridded and edited this puzzle. Have fun! - GAIS, 26/06/21

Cryptic #19: Finally, T.W.O.

My Nineteenth Crossword Another normal one this week. Nothing too extraordinary, but still some very fun stuff, I hope. Thank you to Jack Keynes for test solving. I apologise for 30-across.  Have fun!  - GAIS, 21/06/21

Cryptic #18: Our Feet Are Saying Goodbye

  My Eighteenth Crossword Hello hello hello! It's the end of year 11, the start of the summer holidays and here is a commemorative cryptic crossword to crack at your convenience. It is dedicated to the many friends who have left my school and that I may well never see again (but hopefully will). Bye guys. I'll miss you all.  Now that school's over, it's time for... terrifying provincial nothingness. If it wasn't for you all I think I'd be going insane. Anyway, there's a theme. After a few mean themes I felt I should get back to basics. This theme is structured like my #3... check that out if you enjoyed the logic here. Have fun! - GAIS, 17/06/21
