Puzzle #35: Cahoots! (with Chris Piuma)

Hi hi hi!

Really excited to share this week's puzzle, which is a themeless collaboration with Chris Piuma. His excellent puzzles can be found here and his highly enjoyable Twitch stream, which features crossword-solving, the NYT Spelling Bee, and other shenanigans, can be found most mornings at 11am Central.

As you might be able to tell at a glance, we had a lot of fun with this one. Each half of the grid was filled by one of us, and clued by the other. Which way round, you ask? You get one guess.

Puzzle #100: We Want A Pitcher (with Brian Thomas)

Hi friends, 100 puzzles! Wow. That's pretty crazy. If you've solved even one along the way--THANK YOU. There are too many of you to thank but I'm so grateful to everyone who has solved a puzzle, made a puzzle with me, and even just talked about puzzles with me. This week's offering is a themeless puzzle with Brian Thomas that's chock full of fun indie vibes. Go solve Brian's other puzzles too! I'm also very excited to be able to share an essay of mine that Daily Crossword Links has been kind enough to host, titled "No Scrubs" . It's a philosophy of solving crosswords that I hope will be beneficial to new solvers and competitive solvers alike. .puz PDF Solution (If OneLook prompts a log-in, try opening in a private window) Mmm, gooey butter cake
