revenge of the fill
dark lords of words
this is a silly, nonsensical little puzzle for a niche audience and that niche audience is me. enjoy!
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
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'll plop them all here unless any of them are worth a full post, but just trying to bone up on my constructing skills. enjoy! (prompts hidden so not to spoil each puzzle's theme - highlight if you need a hint!) day 7 prompt: fan agrammy! today's puzzle is actually a format created by sara cantor , who is creating some wonderfully unique puzzles. they've even put together helpful resources to get you started on constructing anagrammies! I am such a FAN (the prompt is here). thank you sara for the excellent challenge!! I'll let them explain how this puzzle works: The answer to every clue is a word that is an anagram of another word, and that’s the word you use to fill in the grid! Clue words and entry words can be ANYTHING (proper nouns, multi-word phrases, etc.) other t...
