no-skips november day 16
In 2021, I attempted to post a new crossword everyday in an event I dubbed “NaCroWriMo.” Unfortunately, I was not able to complete this event and, as a result, I have carried that shame ever since. That is until this month.
For every day in November this year, I’m posting a new crossword puzzle in an endeavour I’m now calling “No-Skips November.” Some of these puzzles are themeless, some are themed, some were even constructed before November, but it doesn’t matter: I’m not skipping a single day on this blog. I’m posting a new crossword. Every day. For a month.
This is also an effort to drive subscriptions to my Patreon, which is the best way to support me directly! My Patreon ensures that I’m able to sustain myself financially during months with less puzzle work, so I can spend more time making the puzzles you enjoy. Subscribers get a new themeless puzzle every week, and Inner Circle members typically get an extra 3-4 puzzles per month.
This puzzle took a weirdly long time to complete today. I have most of these puzzles ready days before posting, but today’s grid had SML which I just couldn’t get over as fill, so I decided to refill it today. The result you see here is what came of it. I like it much better, IMO.
I want to thank Daily Crossword Links for highlighting three(!) of my blog puzzles in their recent DCL Highlights round-up. It means a lot, thank you!
Enjoy the puz! Also: feel free to share the link, comment below if you like the puzzle, and check out my Patreon!
