I'm just as good a solver as Andy Fisher!* (*relative to myself)

Try out my latest cryptic on MyCrossword! Not being numerical is a quite vital failing (11) Thanks to @henriwords.com and @metagloria.bsky.social for testing mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/3603

Time for my biweekly puzzle drop. Thanks to @tpgrammar.bsky.social for the test solve and feedback! mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/3595

I have another full grid clued and ready to go... ...but I'm not gonna post it this week. I just posted a grid last week, and I think "a puzzle a week" is too lofty an expectation for myself. But a puzzle every other week? That's probably achievable.

Cryptic crosswords have been one of many hobbies I obsess over in waves, but now MyCrossword makes it so much easier to make them than my old "spreadsheet mangling" methods... Anyway, I made another! mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/3560

In my younger, more avant-garde days, I inflicted this monstrosity upon my solvers 1A/20A/33A: In extension of letter, Krautrock band with one extremely minuscule grain tower filled with birch evenly at convention on crust cracker sees two separated by ones outside with black lung (45)

I want to hear how you approach setting! Do you wait for inspiration to strike, like "Ooh I just came up with a great clue for GARDENIA" and then start building a grid around that? Do you have a go-to theme that helps you seed grids? How do you avoid painting yourself into a corner? Etc.

Really impressed with a couple of new puzzles from this setter this week. Highly recommended! mycrossword.co.uk/NoBadWeather
