It's been a long time since I published a themeless puzzle. I've mostly been creating themed puzzles and haven't dedicated much time to...

I was supposed to publish a themeless puzzle this week but when I realized it was MLB opening week I audibled. I threw together this...

FYI - this introduction may contain semi-spoilers. I've never created a puzzle like this before. It's more in the vain of a Thursday-type...

Another puzzle where I struggled coming up with a title. This has a reveal so I couldn't use that as the title. Whatever - don't judge a...

I'm guessing this type of these has been done many times and for the other "grades", such as D-Minus. I was trying to think of a clever...

I often feel like I have no idea what to title puzzles and then come up with something forced. If I have a reveal phrase that makes the...

If anyone listens to Fill Me In, and if you don't you should, then this was the puzzle I mentioned in my email. It has an ice cream...

I'm still very amazed and impressed by people who can crank out themeless puzzles. I see the constructor lineup at The New Yorker and...

I still haven't figured out the "art" of constructing a themeless puzzle. I need Robyn Weintraub or Nam Jin Yoon to give me a lesson. I...

Happy new year my people! I hope everyone had a nice NYE and is ready to welcome in 2022. As the Counting Crows say in "Long December",...

I had another puzzle scheduled to run today and as I was doing the write-up, I realized I didn't like one of the theme answers, so I...

I'm not sure which of these was the seed entry, maybe 41-across, which made me make a 16-wide grid. I always hate that because I don't...

One of my personal heroes is the subject of this week's puzzle. I started listening to her music in 2006 when I fellow intern asked me if...

I was supposed to publish this next week, at least based on my publication schedule, but I have a puzzle that has to be published next...
