croctober 2025 - week one puzzles

-
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.







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)

guest puz: "One Word: New York" by paolo pasco

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
