    Trying something a little different here, with 2 mini 5×5 puzzles. I tried to make the majority of the clues/answers in these music-related, so while not the usual Monday puzzles, hoping this is fun as well!🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare – Mini Metal Monday #1 Crosshare – Mini Metal Monday #2 Downloads:

    I really had a good time building this puzzle — lots of long answers, including a phrase from my day job that I’ve been waiting to see in a crossword, and a bunch of music clues sneaking into a non-Metal Monday puzzle… Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:

    Lots of firsts here; first 21×21 Metal “Monday” puzzle, first post on a Sunday, and first puzzle with a title. I’m really excited with how this turned out, hope you enjoy it as much as I did!🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:

    This themed puzzle kind of plays a little like a themeless, with the grid shape and longer answers. I also feel like it’s a bit tougher than some of the prior themed ones I’ve made… Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:

    Themeless Labor Day Metal Monday; my first attempt at dual triple-stacks of 15 letter answers. It’s a little less metal-centric than others, but I still hope you enjoy!🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:

    Themed puzzle — I think it’s pretty straightforward, but may require some additional knowledge about some bands… 🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:

    This puzzle has one of my favorite clues that I’ve written, but I’d say that some of the fill is kind of mid, since I had to work it around the 15-letter answers…hopefully that won’t take away from the puzzle! Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:

    My first attempt at some grid art, with a bunch of answers that relate to it, and plenty of other metal/music stuff peppered in. Given the grid shape, there’s a lot of little 3 letter answers which I don’t love, but hoping this is still a fun solve! 🤘 Solve Online: Crosshare Downloads:
