I’ve been deep into BOTC lately and this looks very fun

Okay, what do I need to do to get Jet Lag the Game to release Amy's newest puzzle box for the public? I wanna do the crossword in there.

Love a Gundam clue

A screenshot from Smartypants saying "The NYT puzzles are ruining my life"

Just saving this for the next time the NYT publishes a bad crossword and/or rejects one of my puzzles

That looks so good!

I cannot let myself get into spinning because that is simply a step too far in terms of craft commitment, but it does look cool

Bought a nice men's suit for a wedding I'm going to, and I have now realized that the men are clearly better than I am at ironing dress shirts.

As the summer winds to a close, I will probably have more to say about the summer puzzles project as a whole at some point, but for now, I'll just say, I had a blast making all these puzzles, and I'm so happy that they found an appreciative audience.

acrosswordrose.blogspot.com/2025/08/trou... The 15th and final summer puzzle is a tribute to the game Blood on the Clocktower--an idea I've had rattling around my head for a bit.

acrosswordrose.blogspot.com/2025/08/them... Penultimate summer puzzle is up!

Anyways, if you think this post is niche and incomprehensible, just wait until I make the puzzle!

This is me realizing that no good TB roles are the same length as POISONER or SCARLET WOMAN and wondering if making the puzzle is worth having to use rebus squares.

Blood on the Clocktower is a very good game, and Trouble Brewing is a very good starter script except for the fact that the evil characters' names and good characters' names are all different lengths, making it very hard for me to make my hidden role themed crossword puzzle.

My friends are doing a cool thing

I walked to the library to return an overdue book even though it was very hot outside, so I think I’m basically a hero

I have morphed from Lolla competitor into frog. (Come say hi if you’re here!)

I was informed at Boswords that NYT is at it again, so I will keep tapping the sign

Summer puzzle 10 is up. Also, I'll be at Boswords tomorrow, come say hi! acrosswordrose.blogspot.com/2025/07/a-co...

Perpetually not the worst thing NYT has done this week but I have a habit to maintain

Mon ami le monstre!

Okay puzzle's up acrosswordrose.blogspot.com/2025/07/them...

Btw, I know I've missed summer puzzles for the last two weekends--I got sick and then had busy/stressful travel plans, but new puzzle coming as soon as I manage to clue it!
