    I thought that the big 15 letter entry at 8-Down would fit great in a crossword, so here we are! Solve Online: Crosshare Amuse Labs Downloads:

    Another slightly oversized (16×15) themed Metal Monday puzzle. This one is lighter on the obscure references so should be more approachable to non-metalheads! 🤘 Note: No Themed Wednesday this week; I’ll be back with a Themeless on Friday! Solve Online: Crosshare Amuse Labs Downloads:

It’s a themed puzzle with answers that are too obscure for national publications, but should totally hit the sweet spot for anyone that’s into rock music.
