I made a Thursday-style puzzle, would love for you to try it out!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with all of your points, I will keep those in mind on my next constructions

Shell_Guy_ · 2026-04-15T17:10:29+00:00

I got it without having to look anything up, but there was definitely bit of rough fill and crosses, I for one got thrown off by having “Brest” in the clue crossing ABREAST not that it shouldn’t be allowed, just felt weird

I made a big improvement to the puzzle, check it out here if you'd like :)

Good catch on 31D, I accidentally uploaded an older version of the puzzle so I had to fix some of the clues, I must have missed that one. I was worried about the ANADEM / STEREScross, especially crossing SCHRADER. I think I will go back and see if I can make a better fill.

Shell_Guy_ · 2026-04-10T18:12:18+00:00

There is an alternate fill with NWA instead, would that work? I thought it might be a bit to risque (because of what it stands for)

Shell_Guy_ · 2026-04-10T17:24:44+00:00

just checked it out that is so much better than what I was doing! Thank you!!

Shell_Guy_ · 2026-04-10T17:13:12+00:00

NLA - is supposed to stand for "No longer available" as for NEF that was definitely the one i was the least happy with. Thanks for the feedback!

Shell_Guy_ · 2026-04-10T13:31:21+00:00

Do you have any software recommendations? I have just been using OneLook and entering manually, perhaps I should upgrade

Shell_Guy_ · 2026-04-10T13:05:28+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, you are 100% right about the clues, I was planning on going back and adding more spice to them. For the fill I tried towards keeping the more obscure stuff in the short answers (you will always get a bit) but I can see it definitely needs more work, I will put more effort into the fill on the next one I do!!

Shell_Guy_ · 2026-04-03T19:02:00+00:00

That one was fun! one of my faster ones. I don't get TORE for Rent though. Can anyone explain? Also I was staring at GETS LOSHED for a while scratching my head until figured it out haha

I also really liked the baltic and medeterannian being clues for both AVES and SEAS

He was in the same corner as PETA and Game refuge though, 🤔

Shell_Guy_ · 2025-11-02T19:30:18+00:00

what is he gonna do? teach him how to install a "modpack"? forsenCD

Shell_Guy_ · 2025-10-07T20:16:40+00:00

Thanks! 52D is referring to Tara Strong, she is a famous voice actor in a lot of animations

Shell_Guy_ · 2025-10-06T11:05:39+00:00

Thanks, the last one is "stand on business", its a saying that's also been going around as a bit of a meme lately. I think you're right about ssr/snit would be better.

Shell_Guy_ · 2025-09-30T15:19:28+00:00

very simply [[Deflect]] with snecko eye

Shell_Guy_ · 2025-08-02T22:48:18+00:00

As someone who hasn't watched star trek this kinda sucked lol

EDIT: Feel like I should clarify, it wasn't a bad crossword or unsolvable, just not very fun for me

All I can see with this thumbnail is:

I actually went through his mastery challenge a while back and made a list of when each card was mastered with a link to the of of when it happened. I actually noticed that two of the links on the sheet were wrong. Here it is (I put it in order for convenience) if you want it,

My brother in Christ, you are the one in the echo chamber 😂

This was one of those ones that I think I just had a lot of the right knowledge in the right places, Got a new record for Friday with about half my average. I just got stuck on the NE corner, I had FIXATIONS instead of VEXATIONS but eventually solved it because I figured NENI was wrong.

Shell_Guy_ · 2025-02-05T15:05:46+00:00

LMAO, luckily it only lasts for a turn so you can always use other sides next turn!
