Started this one with a completely different idea in mind. I wanted to hide wind instruments in the down answers, but I couldn't make it...

This is obviously inspired by the song at 67-across, which happens to be one of my wife's favorite songs, at least go-to karaoke song....

Obviously came up with this theme while watching The Last Dance. If you haven't seen it and have Netflix I recommend giving it a watch....

I had to make this one an oversized grid to accommodate the 8-letter reveal phrase going through the middle. I personally think the theme...

I'm not entirely sure where I got this idea or what the first theme answer was. I like the concept of the theme although I don't think it...

A puzzle I said I was going to create after the first puzzle with this theme contained only male theme answers. Went in the other...

Hopefully people don't get scared by this puzzle having a sports theme. I still don't quite get the shade thrown at sports entries or...

I've used this concept before, in this puzzle. I think it worked out well and I got some interesting and modern theme answers. Thank you,...

I called an audible with this post. I had a themeless ready to go (themeless coming next week) but then when today's NYT puzzle ran, it...

I feel like I have a lot more puzzles with theme answers running vertically than most. Seems like the NYT has a puzzle with vertical...

Pretty classic theme type - adding letters to make whacky phrases. I think this particular letter string being added could go on for a...

I probably came up with this because taking a 63-across is so fun. I had a similar theme using CODE and I thought the results turned out...

I'm on vacation so a short write-up this week. Started with the concept and it evolved into being 4-letter capitals. I guess there is...

I am not one of the 61-across people. I have my cable and I watch it. I guess my excuse was always live sports, but I imagine I could get...

A theme that I'm guessing has been done many times, probably including How somewhere in there. I didn't do that. I think the theme...

Another puzzle where the reveal phrase deals with smoking marijuana. Not sure why these get in my head as I don't even smoke. I have seen...

Another Thursday-type puzzle. I typically try to avoid themes where the result is gibberish, but this is obviously an exception. Had to...

I think this may be a difficult puzzle but I'm not entirely sure how to gauge that. When you are the one creating the puzzle the gimmick...

Simple theme this week with no reveal phrase. Thank you, puzzle titles. Only four theme answers so the grid gets to breathe easy. I like...

I haven't created a Thursday-type puzzle in a long time but they are some of my favorites to come up with. I know I'm not the first to...
