It's a @xws.bsky.social and Orta Cross|word day on @puzzmo.com

I have been an avid crossword-puzzler for as long as I can remember, including cryptics and currently learning about metas, and I still learned stuff from the mini series. Very worth a play, you can easily get the seven-day free trial and run through all the minis in a few hours

i wrote the first 10 in advance (to pitch the puzzmo team), roughly mapped out the rest, and let the project take me where it was going to go, often within a day of the publication date. i feel like *i* learned about crosswords as i was writing them — i hope you did too.

08.10.2025 11:52 — 👍 9 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0@puzzmo.com is running a mini crossword series that teaches you tricks to interpret clues and I love it. Brooke is doing such a great job building on each lesson and honestly, it's both fascinating and kinda making me want to learn how to build(?) crosswords myself.
