The title says it all; I just had a chem final yesterday, so all my time for the last week has been consumed by that. Really sorry, but life got in the way. Puzzle #33 will be released next Sunday.
If you need puzzles to solve in the meantime, let me direct you to Women of Letters, a crossword packet by an A-list of female crossword constructors. Plus, every purchase of the packet helps women-centric charities. Hit that link up immediately!
See you next week,

PUZZLE #32: "What's Poppin?"
PDF
PUZ
SOLUTION to last week's puzzle
"Mary Poppins" is the musical my school's doing this year, and opening night was this past Friday. It's been a blast from start to finish-- anyway, the show's been on my mind in the four months since rehearsals began, so here's a puzzle themed around my personal favorite song from the show-- I get chills every time. Once you're done, listen to it here (SPOILERS, but beautiful and melodic spoilers).
Hope you enjoy!

PUZZLE #31: Shelling Out
PDF
PUZ
SOLUTION to last week's puzzle
Happy Easter/April Fool's Day, solvers! This puzzle's in celebration of one of the two; no points for figuring out which one it is. I gridded the puzzle while watching "Arrival," and clued it while watching "Pride and Prejudice," so expect an eclectic tone for this one.
Hope you enjoy!

Welcome back, solvers!
A few things I want to point you to today:
- The 2018 Indie 500 has opened its registration! I probably won't be attending in person, but you bet I'm on top of the solve-at-home registration + meta suite.
- The Queer Qrossword project has released a pack of 22 puzzles, all for the low, low price of a $10 donation to an LGBTQ+ charity of your choice. Having test-solved one of these, I can confidently say that at least one puzzle in the pack is straight fire. No doubt the rest are too, though-- there's a lot of great constructors, and the pack is definitely worth your money. Check it out if you're interested!

PUZZLE #27: Off to a Rocky Start
PDF
PUZ
SOLUTION to the last puzzle
Sorry about the long break between puzzles; I've been working on a few puzzle projects, and planning a few changes to the blog, which I hope you'll be excited about. Plus I was on a school trip over the last two Sundays, so I haven't had a lot of time by my laptop to publish anything.
Speaking of changes to the blog, here's one I'm particularly excited about: you now can solve puzzles directly in your browser, thanks to an embedded applet courtesy of Amuse Labs. You can see the applet below the break. Let me know how it works, and if there's anything I can do to make the solving experience easier.
As always, hope you enjoy!
