Ryan Judge⁽'⁾s Crosswords

Welcome back! I had an absolutely amazing time last weekend at Lollapuzzoola, where I met so, so many people whose puzzles I love so, so much. I am so grateful that I had that experience—here's to many more Lollas!  Here's a themed puzzle! It should hopefully play on the easier side. Hope you enjoy! .puz pdf And here's a music rec on the way out:

Hi! Welcome to the first installment of my reviews, aka "Ryan judges crosswords!" I'll be taking a look at my favorites from the last month (since July 16th). Maybe I'll turn this into a monthly thing. Disclaimer : I do not solve crosswords from every major outlet so there will be some likely amazing puzzles that I seem to have skipped over; in reality I may have not solved that puzzle. This is also not an exhaustive list of all the outlets I solve from. I compiled this list of puzzles by scanning through puzzles from the last month that I solved, so some memories may have faded; in the future I could write notes about my favorite puzzles right after solving. Puzzles are separated by outlet. Outlets are ordered alphabetically. Puzzles are ordered chronologically within each outlet. My solving time is in parentheses after puzzle date and author. And lastly , a quick SPOILER ALERT for the following: The Atlantic 8/9; bewilderingly Puzzle #212; NYT 7/28, 8/2, 8/12

 Happy Tuesday! Enjoy this themeless offering! .puz pdf

Hi! Happy Thursday! I'm back with my third puzzle! This one is a semi-themeless—you'll see what I mean when you solve it. It's an NYT reject but I'm happy with how it turned out! .puz pdf
