a huge part of why i agreed to make a puzzmo mini crossword every day for a month is that crossword puzzles seem to be one of the actual battlefields for getting my peer group to stop giving money to the NYT

Delighted to share a byline with @xws.bsky.social at @puzzmo.com! It's called "You should know better!" The puzzle's emoji is ⚖️, but it could just as easily be 🦙 - IYKYK

Fellow puzzle lovers: In honor of the Super Bowl I made a little football-themed crossword with my friend @robdubbin.bsky.social for @puzzmo.com. You can play for free today: www.puzzmo.com/puzzle/2026-...

day 3 dawns on my puzzmo mini-crossword residency…. turns out that when there are only 10 total clues in a puzzle, you can kiiiind of coax them all into sort of relating to each other. it’s WORKING TOGETHER www.puzzmo.com/puzzle/2026-...

🌏 Puzzmo Mini Crossword #8: www.puzzmo.com/puzzle/2025-...

@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.

today's was a tough one to make 😅

we’re three days in on the mini and it’s all bangers. checkout today’s (and all the previous ones) in this thread:
