woaaaaaahhh it's week two of october!! when did that happen?! here are more daily silly puzzles. day 8: superpower (a puzzle about the last sue-per powered film i saw) Created by franci dimitrovska using PuzzleMe's online cross word creator day 9: college day 11: ship Built by franci dimitrovska using PuzzleMe's online cross word maker day 13: pajamas

every day in october i make a tiny crossword puzzle based on a drawtober list. you know the drill. puzzles are likely messy and silly. day7: space (a grid ripped directly from paolo's atlantic puz today cause i like the open spaces) day 6: sport (a puzzle about survivor, the only sport i follow) day 5: look-alike (a puzzle with clues of look- and other-alikes) day 4: animal (happy birthday snoopy!!) day 3: young (a puzzle with clue/fill references that feel younger and younger) day 2: formal (a puzzle entirely in iambic pentameter) day 1: normal (a puzzle made of clues i would not usually allow into a normal puzzle)

i know people have been frothing at the mouth to see a puzzle from franci on cross worms. to those people i give a big middle finger because this is a genius puzzle from PAOLO PASCO. yes, it is the first puz on this blog since 2022 and luckily it's the best xword ever made. this is a huge honour for two reasons: firstly, paolo's 2021 "entry level stuff" puz is the reason i started making puzzles at all. secondly, it is a tribute to the greatest hater in the world and UNIFIER of the PLANET.  solved it and still lost? fret not and enjoy this post-solve poetry Made by Paolo Pasco with the crossword builder from Amuse Labs

can you believe it? i'm going to do that silly thing where i try to put out a puzzle every single day in october again!! will it happen? i hope!! do i need it? so badly!! this year's iteration is called CROCTOBER. full of holes, but sensible and fun with light-up elements. enjoy week one of puzzles below baby!! day 1 prompt: cave day 2 prompt: redacted day 3 prompt: cowboy (this is barely a puzzle and hugely a shitpost) (need help?)

pictured: me, frantic, underslept, having just eaten so many breakfast potatoes with stunning women constructors. it's also one of the only photos of me to exist at ACPT and honestly it captures the energy best of all. I had such a wonderful time at ACPT this year reuniting with friends and making new pals who inspired me to bravely publish my xwords with a bit of a pseudonym and keep myself out of trouble. have a puz! thank you so much to Jacob AKA Conflux AKA the brilliant mind behind puzzles for progress  for the test solve.
