Every crossword puzzle I’ve ever posted — Metal Mondays, Themed Wednesdays, and Themeless Fridays — all in one place.
Metal Monday (Sunday) #48 – “I Literally Love Them!”, Volume 4
Surprise! Another Metal Sunday here, this time celebrating the publication of my second LA Times Sunday puzzle (go check that one out today too!). If you’ve been here before, you know what to expect. If not: there’s tons of music…
Themeless Friday #17
Themeless puzzle inspiration is funny. I saw a phrase, realized it was 15 letters long, and was like “OK, I’ll make a puzzle with that as my center entry.” And that’s how this puzzle came together… Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
Metal Monday #47 – “Bandbox”
Themed Metal Monday that was kind of tricky to come up with, but once I had a couple of my themers, it all sort of fell into place. Hope you enjoy! 🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:

Themed Wednesday #16 – “Duck This Puzzle!”
I really loved this themed puzzle, and thought it may have had legs for a national publication, but after a few rejections, no such luck. All that said, while I’m biased, I feel like this is a really fun puzzle…
Metal Monday #45 – Story Of The Year
I need to credit my wife for this puzzle; I was stuck coming up with something, and she gave me a great broad theme idea which fit nicely into a Metal Monday. Enjoy! 🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
Metal Monday #44 – Themeless
This is one of the more fun Themeless Metal Mondays (in my opinion!) so far. Over 20 music-related clues, a ridiculous seed entry, and not too much glue/crosswordy nonsense. Enjoy! 🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
Metal Monday #43 – “Turn It Up!”
When I realized the quote I used for my revealer was 15 letters long, I knew I had to put it in a puzzle; beyond the theme, this may also be the most music-dense puzzle I’ve made, ranging from pop…
Themeless Friday #16
This was my first attempt at a puzzle with horizontal symmetry, and I’m pretty happy with how it came out — five 15-letter entries, and only a few kind of cringy fill elements. Enjoy! Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
Metal Monday #42 – Themeless
Back for another themeless Metal Monday, with a usual dose of some metal clues, other music clues, and a fun stack of 11 letter entries, crossed by a full 15-letter vertical entry. Enjoy!🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
Themeless Friday #15
First 3-puzzle week in months! I was very close to pulling the trigger on submitting this to a national outlet, but there were some things about it that I didn’t think were going to cut it. Anyhow, I love my…
Themed Wednesday #15 – “Bust A Move”
First Themed Wednesday in a over a month! Enjoy! Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
Metal Monday #41 – “The Decline”
Metal Monday this week is a themed puzzle, but not quite as “metal” as prior iterations. And I’ll admit, this is a little more meta / constructor-y than other themes I’ve done before. So I had fun making this one,…
Metal Monday #40 – Themeless
Back to your regularly-scheduled Metal Monday after a diversion for a Sunday puzzle yesterday. Today’s themeless is a bit more “general music” than metal, and leans heavily on late 90s/early 2000s references, which I think makes sense given my elder…
Metal Monday (Sunday) #39 – “I Literally Love Them!”, Volume 3
Metal Monday goes supersized again with Volume 3 of “I Literally Love Them!” (Volumes 1 and 2 linked below). Expect lots of music entries, a familiar theme, and plenty to keep you busy on a Sunday. 🤘 Metal Monday (Sunday)…
Metal Monday #38 – “Big Bottom”
This themed Metal Monday puzzle is so dumb, but I kind of love it.🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
Themeless Friday #14
Back-to-back Themeless Fridays! I love this puzzle — I think (hope?) this is going to be a fun one to solve; lots of interesting long entries, a grid shape I find aesthetically pleasing, and even a couple music clues snuck…
Metal Monday #37 – Themeless
Themeless Metal Monday! I finished this puzzle, a few days ago, only to see that this Saturday’s NYT puzzle grid is strikingly similar to mine, with the 11/13/15 letter stacks at the top and bottom… Either way, as always, a…
Themeless Friday #13
First Themeless Friday in a few months — I had actually started this a little while back and hadn’t clued it until now. I’ll admit that the short fill could get kind of yucky in places, but I really like…
Metal Monday #36 – “…and my Axe!”
Time for another themed Metal Monday; though I’d say that the music-based clues lean more pop-punk than anything today; either way, should be a straightforward theme to start off the week. Enjoy!🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
