Trying something a little different here, with 2 mini 5×5 puzzles.

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:
