@oliogrids.bsky.social and I over at @theatlantic.com. Can’t tell a lie… we’re pretty excited for this one. This is what happens when 90’s kids collide. www.theatlantic.com/games/daily-...

I promise it’s not a scary puzzle. You know what *was* scary? Getting stuck in Isla Negra with a pack of wild dogs while I was visiting one of Pablo Neruda’s houses. Oops 😅 (Not that that story is going to help you much with this puzzle. Unless…) play.usatoday.com/crossword

In @theglobeandmail.com again today with another sports title. If I can do a sports puzzle, there’s hope for anyone. www.theglobeandmail.com/puzzles-and-...

I channeled my dad for this World Cup-themed puzzle. He once befriended someone with a radio while we were *camping* so he could catch the Sporting match. That’s some commitment. www.theglobeandmail.com/puzzles-and-...

For those able to do @crosswordflow.bsky.social, my puzzle is there today (“In the Jungle You Must Wait…”) I might be there tomorrow too 👀

I’m up at The Walrus today, for your crossword pleasure. This wasn’t inspired by a Taylor Swift song, but if she ever asks, it was. thewalrus.ca/games/crossw...

A year ago today I had my first crossword published when @puzzmo.com gave me a shot 🙏 I can admit this now, but I heard about the open call the day before the deadline… and my Google search history that day *might* have included “What’s a midi crossword?”

Kareem and I bring you today’s Universal puzzle, tada! 🥚 Playable online at The Globe and Mail too www.theglobeandmail.com/puzzles-and-...

Making my @thewalrus.ca crossword debut today. Feeling patriotic. Also feeling hungry. 🍩 Maybe Timmies will sponsor my puzzle career. thewalrus.ca/games/crossw...

My @puzzmo.com puzz today is dedicated to my little niece. I haven’t seen her awake yet (ruuuude), but maybe she can find it in her busy newborn schedule to take a peek. www.puzzmo.com/puzzle/2026-...

My first 21 x 21 ever is making its appearance online *and* in print at @theglobeandmail.com today 🇨🇦 Check out their new games app too that @jessshulman.bsky.social has made fab www.theglobeandmail.com/puzzles-and-...

My first double puzzle day! I’m at @usatoday.com *and* have a meta collab with the amazing @norahsharpe.bsky.social over at Ariadne ariadnescrosswordlibrary.com/2026/03/01/m...

I’m nominated for an ORCA! Wild. It’s the Oscars of the crossword world. Super honoured to be part of the “Emerging Constructor” crew. Look at all these names! All fabulous. All available to check out on the ballot (and donating gets you the puzzle pack too) crosswordfiend.com/2026-orcas-b...

There is still time to register for the Boswords 2026 Winter Wondersolve, which is happening *tomorrow* afternoon. Go to boswords.org to register and for details. The constructors listed below have prepared four puzzles for you to enjoy! Come solve with us!

Last Lil of my 2025 mentorship *sniff sniff*. I’m not crying, you’re crying… And it’s my first meta—but not my last. Because tearing my hair out while drafting complex-ish things is my new version of fun.

The working title of this puzzle was “I Swear I Didn’t Predict the Louvre Heist.” I still maintain my innocence. The only thing I’ve ever stolen is a bottle of Coke. And that’s only because I totally forgot to pay for it. (Sorry to the Bulk Barn that existed in my hometown mall.)

Today’s @puzzmo.com comes from my brain. So, I’ll either just say “sorry” now or “you’re welcome” depending on your feelings about it. puzzmo.com/puzzle/2025-...

We are excited to be releasing Puzzle #1 of the Boswords Fall Themeless League tomorrow night! Thanks to all who have joined so far, and there's still time to join the fun! For more info, a short video explaining the Fall League, and to register, go to boswords.org.

As we move toward our fall subscription drive, we hope you’ll consider supporting us in part bc we are an independent media company. No, crosswords are not as vital as journalism. But yes, all content that we consume matters, and it should be as free as possible from corporate control.

I had to write a puzzle for my newest stage of adulting. I feel you, Monica Geller!

@sallyhoelscher.bsky.social and I with today’s USA Today crossword. We’ll only swipe a bit of your time. My USAT debut too! puzzles.usatoday.com

I feel like I’m at the Oscars and I’m nominated in the same category as Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. I’m almost tempted to write hashtag blessed… but I’ll spare you.

Put on your dancing shoes! Tonight we have an 11x12 puzzle by roster member Carina da Rosa (@carinadarosa.bsky.social) called "Sorry, Patrick Swayze, But I Put Baby in the Corner."

As I develop my crossword persona, I think it’s becoming a sassy ‘90s Disney princess. Here’s my puzz today over at @puzzmo.com! www.puzzmo.com/puzzle/2025-...

We're beyond thrilled to present puzzles by this fantastic set of constructors at the second Midwest Crossword Tournament, October 4, 2025 in Chicago! Read more about them and register now at midwestgridfest.com

Thanks to the Lil AVCX team (and especially my mentor @sallyhoelscher.bsky.social) for this wicked cool opportunity. Cue the ABBA!

Having my @puzzmo.com debut today (and my crossword debut) feels like my birthday. I’m gonna buy cake and Marie Antoinette this day up. Don’t worry, I won’t lose my head… www.puzzmo.com/puzzle/2025-...

I can’t tell what makes me more excited: getting the opportunity to make crosswords or gaining all of these fab crossword friends. Or buying cake. All 3, obvi.
