Puzzle #7: Tetrominoes

 Hi!

 

Another themeless today, built around my love of tetrominoes. Please ignore the non-tetromino blocks in the grid. Those are simply tetrominoes that grabbed a few more blocks and refused to let go. Negotiations are ongoing.


There are some fun crossword streams on Twitch you should check out. It's really fun to watch and solve with friends, and it's a great way to get better at solving, too. Here are some of my favorite streamers (their schedules may vary, of course):

Puzzle #103: Color Theory

 Hi friends, I'm back, and a bit earlier in the week than I usually publish. If you solve the puzzle, you might find one reason why, but what better to do on New Year's Day than solve some crosswords? I hope your 2025 is filled with good friends and good solves. Thank you to Norah and Steve for testing this one! No .puz file or PDF this week. You'll see why when you see the grid.

Puzzle #107: You Can Call Me... (with Rich Iurilli)

 Hi friends,  I'm back home from ACPT, and what a weekend! It was, by turns, incredibly fun and completely overwhelming. I had a blast. I finished the tournament clean, coming 43rd overall, 20th in B Divison, and 3rd in Midwest. That was a lot of my goals for this year's ACPT achieved, so I feel great. This puzzle was made for the ACPT lobby. I printed 300 copies, which was woefully inadequate. Since it was made for folks at ACPT, it's definitely a little more "inside baseball" than my usual blog posts. But I got nice feedback on it, and hopefully it's enjoyable for everyone.  This puzzle is a collaboration with Rich Iurilli , go check out Rich's other puzzles. Thanks also to Shannon Rapp and Matthew Gritzmacher for help in test solving. Rich, Shannon, and Matthew are all contributors to Daily Crossword Links , an invaluable resource and a great way to get even more into puzzles.  And lastly, thanks to the person who inspired this puzzle, for being a good ...
