The trick of puzzle design is not so much coming up with decent clues as it is coming up with a cohesive theme. This one’s pretty good (in my less than honest opinion) but it took me quite a bit of thought to get it working. I keep trying to design full 15x15 American style puzzles but aren’t quite able yet. Hopefully the clues aren’t as necessarily obtuse as my previous ones.

British or “quick” crosswords are significantly easier to construct than American or “full” ones - I tried orienting this in a 15x15 grid, but reduced it down to the puzzle you see here. This theme is cleverer than previous, but I’m concerned some of the clues are two obtuse for this format of crossword. 🖨️Download a printable Version 🧩Download the .puz file Subscribe to the Carrot 🥕 A weekly digest highlighting new blog posts, projects - and all the other things I do.

This is my first attempt at designing my own crossword. I was inspired by some of the puzzles published in the New Yorker recently and thought it would be fun to try and craft my own. I’ll be attempting to publish a new puzzle every week, so keep an eye out. 🖨️Download a printable Version 🧩Download the .puz file (Beware of Spoilers)
