Under 21

So uh, I did a puzzle with Frisco.

(omg its so silly and so dumb and i love it and Frisco thank you so much for working with me on this)

This puzzle uses some - uh - contemporary fill. You'll see what I mean. Working on this puzzle was just such a joy and a pleasure, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it with a friend in the crossword world. Go do a Frisco puzzle; he usually makes American-style puzzles, and they're all great!

From Frisco:
"To those who've been yelling at me to make a new cryptic, I hope they try and solve this puzzle, realize it's too hard and then never ask me to do anything ever again. Thanks so much to Pixlate for sponsoring this video!"

Thank you to skaldskaparmal and joeadultman for test solving.

I hope there's plenty fun
in "Under 21"!

(btw Frisco wrote the hints for the Acrosses so you have been warned)

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)
