Variety Cryptic 3: Dramatic Change

Wow! I think this may be the first time I've ever created a grid and actually finished the cluing not long after. This 14 x 14 bad boy hopefully should be a fun little challenge. I recommend using a notepad, you might wanna write things down.

I feel as though as I write more clues, my constructions begin to have their own sort of style? idk tell me if you find anything recognisable about the way I set.

Either way, thanks once more to @kieranjboyd#1688 for advice in filling the grid and skaldskaparmal for a greatly valuable test solve.

Happy Holidays, Merry Solving!

Variety Cryptic 5: Ghost in the Machine

 Can you believe that the last barred grid I put on this blog was in JANUARY? Like, hello - time, what is it and why does it fly? In all seriousness, these last few puzzles have really helped me hone my skills and were just fun to make. I want to thank all my friends who've helped form and shape my style of puzzling and who have just been all-around good people. Y'all are great. Life is a thing that will exist whether it is there to be lived or endured. The last puzzle I put on the blog was about a month ago (that whole one-puzzle-a-week thing was fun while it lasted). But the reason I set puzzles stays the same, I find it fun. I hope you find my puzzles fun too. [Thank you to skaldskaparmal for test-solving] ( pdf ) ( Sheets )

Hey y'all I made another puzzle with Frisco (there's three cluesets, again!) Frisco says of this puzzle: "Fucking I feel no shame, that's it, i feel no shame" Strong words. Anyways, pick whichever one you like, but also, pick the hard one because we're proud of the gas we got in there. Have a fun one! Please blame Paolo Pasco for the hard clueset, he let us get away with a lot Here's what lila had to say about the puzzle (she test-solved the meme clues!): Guys, I Swear I Can Make Serious Puzzles: Amuselabs Links: Standard Adversarial Memes

Variety Cryptic 6: Disappearance and Production

 Sometimes you think of an idea and you just wanna make it into a cryptic. Hi! It's been about half a year-ish since the last variety I've made. A lot has happened since then, I've made some regular puzzle in between and got myself published a couple of times. With all that said, let's get back to the shenanigans. Test-solved by the ever-helpful  skaldskaparmal . I hope you have fun: (sheets) (pdf)
