Mini #6

 Hey folks, another little mini here. Enjoy! 

Mini #5

 Decided to throw together a quick little mini for a pal. Kinda British-themed it? I dunno.  Hope you enjoy! 

Mini #4

 Hey everyone! Another mini I made - I made this one specifically because my puzzles keep having Dragon Ball / Pokemon / etc. references they don't get. So I guess this is like the crossword equivelent of an ode to someone?  A crossode to beepsalt, then!  ( Also their blog is here do their puzzles too)

Fooooood

 Hey folks, my next puzzle is up! I had an idea for a theme quite awhile back, but every time I tried to play around with it and with a grid, I'd end up nixing it.  That said, this is the result! Thanks to Chris/WordGarbler for test solving and giving some feedback. There's a small snippet after the puzzle once you finished. 

Mini #3

Hey folks, got a suddeny burst of inspiration for a crossword and threw this together - should be more on the fun and easy side I think. Enjoy! 
 Whipped up another mini! Proud of a couple of the crossings that ended up working. Hope you enjoy  Thanks to Frisco and Conflux for the test solves! 

To Be, Or Not To Be...The Very Best - Puzzle #5

Hello! This is my fifth crossword. Kinda had a brain blast for a theme and then put this puzzle together. Overall, definitely the puzzle I am most satisfied with! Hope you enjoy solving. I would also like to thank two people - beepsalt for solving on stream and they and their chat giving some feedback, and Frisco17 who also did a test solve and gave feedback. 

Mini #1, Puzzle #4

This is my first ever mini! I kinda wanted to just give it a go and see what would happen. In the end, turns out I was able to cross a number of interesting words with each other due to how they were related (little spoiler, I guess?) Either way - hopefully not too shabby for my first mini 

Crossword #3 Kinda Music Heavy?

 This is my third puzzle. This one came as more of a spur of the moment type of situation, but I think I did better with the fills compared to the other puzzles I made previously. You can kinda catch on to me getting better at decent fills and trying to avoid bad answers/clues. Thought I had some clever things in here - enjoy! 

A Game of Words

 This is my second puzzle - had an idea come to mind for the theme and wanted to give it a shot.  Has some rough spots. An improvement over my first but even after publishing it, I saw some areas I could improve on. Still, I think the theme and puzzle is enjoyable! 

Catching Hands

This is the very first crossword puzzle I ever made, around the middle of September 2021. I decided to leave it more or less in its original form. This is of course not the best puzzle around and has areas of improvement. But to take an attitude I adopted from speedrunning: Having slow/not good runs on your leaderboard can be inspirational to others who can see other runs that have mistakes or sloppy movement.  Thus, I give you my first puzzle in its original form. I still think this has good clues and answers - some of which may even return in future puzzles. I hope you enjoy solving my first puzzle - Catching Hands.
