Cryptic #31: Dollars For All

My Thirty-First Crossword Hello everyone. I'm very proud of this grid. I think there are some rather fun constructions, and some interesting words. I hope you enjoy it too. (From the bottom of my heart, I apologise for saying this:) My next grid will be out a week on Monday, for a special reason. It is gridden, but unclud.  Thanks to Mental Playground, TeamCrazyMatt and Liari for test-solving. Have fun! - GAIS, 12/02/22

Cryptic #30: In the Mag #2

  My Thirtieth Crossword Hello everyone. If I'm correct, it's been a while. I have been waiting until the release of the 4th Modern Languages Review by my school, which contains this crossword. It was made hastily, but I still think it holds up. There's a nice little theme in this one. Have fun! - GAIS, 31/01/22

Cryptic #29: At Least Noah's Ark

  My Twenty-Ninth Crossword Hello everyone. I hope you've all had a lovely holiday season. Here's a puzzle of which I'm quite proud to start your year off.   It was a slight challenge to fill, and there are few Words ™ , but also a lot of clues I like. Thanks to Jack Keynes for testing. Have fun! - GAIS, 02/01/22

Tidbits: Caesar's Murdered (Spiral #2)

Image
Here's a spiral puzzle. It's far from pangrammatic, but still has some fun fill. I t has 100 characters, which form words both when the entire string is read from the outside in, and from the inside out, with American-style clues to aid you. Thanks to Steve Mossberg for the inspiration, and to Jack Keynes and TeamCrazyMatt for testing. Be sure to check out my other tidbits. In case you liked this one, I have  another spiral , and I also have a  wordoku  and a  novelty puzzle  (which still appears to be unsolved...). They come after every 7th puzzle. Fear not: the advent of grid #29 is imminent. Have fun! - GAIS, 24/12/21

Cryptic #28: How Embarrassing

  My Twenty-Eighth Crossword Hello all. Here's a grid that I've had ready for a while - my apologies, I didn't want to inundate you all with GAIS grids - which has some hopefully very fun clues. If you haven't watched Arrested Development, I implore that you do so. That's completely unrelated to the grid; it's just a fantastic show. Thanks to Jack Keynes for test-solving. #29 is well on the way. Have fun! - GAIS, 15/12/21

Cryptic #27: Shut Up, The Both Of You

My Twenty-Seventh Crossword Hello everyone.  It's been a while. Blame the maths department for that. Here's a grid that was tested a while ago - unfortunately, I've lost the sheet of paper on which I wrote down the complaints, so please, PLEASE send them my way. Anyway, this theme is another of the ones seen in #3 and #18. I love doing this type of grid - the choices for surfaces are absolutely limitless. Thanks to Mental Playground, Jack Keynes, Agnijo Banerjee, Liari and TeamCrazyMatt for test-solving. Have fun! - GAIS, 28/11/21

Cryptic #26: What Are The Odds?

My Twenty-Sixth Crossword Hello! Not much to say about this crossword, except that I think it's quite enjoyable. Sorry in advance for a few things. Thanks to Jack Keynes for test-solving. Have fun! - GAIS, 22/10/21
