Pixlate's Puzzles

 Hi Folks! Here's another variety puzzle for you, made for the bewilderingly  stream but now available for you lovely people. Tried to keep the cluing terse and simple, but still interesting, with a nice and gentle theme.  Hope you have fun! (squares.io) (pdf and ipuz files)

 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)

 Back at it again with another puzzle that uses a bunch of hard fill, akin to a Times Monthly Club, or a Painstaker, but hopefully not completely undoable. The primary source for all fill is Collins Dictionary, which is strongly recommended to aid the solve. Thanks to  juff  and  skaldskaparmal . The puzzle exists on MyCrossword . glhf!

 Sorry for not posting in a month lol, I got kinda caught up with stuff and things and items and objects. Anyways, enjoy! :)  This one was playtested very long ago so I genuinely forgot who test-solved, so I'll use this space to say thank you to the Cryptic and Non-Cryptic Crossword Community. Y'all are great! Puzzle is on myCrossword . :)

 Hi! I made another themeless - it's harder than the last one! (Why is it called Xeriscaping? idk i just like the word, it starts with an X and its pretty) As with always, I do encourage for you to try the adversarial clueset. For reference, I gave the puzzle to frisco  (thanks frisco) and he solved it far too quickly for my liking so I removed more footholds, gave it to Paolo Pasco (thanks paolo) and he still solved it far too quickly for my liking so I removed more footholds and now we're here.  Quite happy with how the grid and clues turned out. Good luck :) Standard Clueset: ( Puzzle ) Adversarial Clueset: ( Puzzle )

 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

 Hi folks! It's me again, sorry for not posting more but life happens and also I got bored and didn't feel like it. Anyways here's a puzzle which I quite like and I think is quite silly. It's over on MyCrossword. I've got a couple of grids in the works (and one coming out somewhere other than my blog in a week-ish!) so I'll be more active - but for now, please enjoy this puzzle whose name is a dumb joke that I find funny for some reason. Puzzle Link (oh shit wait, thank you from Brad, joeadultman, tui, Liam and probably_apocryphal for test-solving)

 Hi folks! Sorry for the silence as of late, last week was spent doing a puzzle with the lovely Frisco17  (do his other puzzles too they're great!). Back to schedule once again with a 15x Cryptic! I'm probably going to stop adhering to the schedule of once a week too much but I'll still be making puzzles at roughly the same speed.  The puzzle can be found over at MyCrossword . Thanks to juff , liari , skaldskaparmal and StJtB for testing!

 Hi folks, this week's puzzle(s) are 15x Themelesses written with two separate clue-sets. [Think Brooke Husic's Regular/Experimentals, or The Good, The Bad, The Ugly by Frisco and I] The "Adversarial" clue-set is named as such because that's how I approached clueing it. The hope is that you might get snagged at a few points but with persistence emerge victorious. Hopefully, the payout is satisfyingly crunchy and not frustrating!  I'd love to hear honest feedback on how your solves go! Thanks to Frisco17  for the test-solve. Regular Clueset Adversarial Clueset

 Hi folks! This week's puzzle is another standard 15x over on MyCrossword, thanks to juff  and liari  for test-solving. One day I'll think of something to write here. Boop: Puzzle Have fun!

Tested by Liari , Matt , Brad , Skald & Juff Find it here: Puzzle

Hi again, it's another puzzle. It's on MyCrossword again - woohoo! https://www.mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/1031 Enjoy!

Hi folks! Felt like making a normal puzzle for once - today's one resides over at MyCrossword and along with the venue comes a different and, more importantly, British cryptic style and vocabulary (you have been warned). Other than the change of style, it should play on the easier side of things. Anyways, here you go: Puzzle Link Have fun!

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"!
