SHORTY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF][ FULLSCREEN]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]

I don’t often go for a typical themeless low word count for a themed puzzle. But you know, when the inspiration strikes, you just have to go with it. And so I did. Enjoy.

The summer drive is still rolling. Let me give you the quick pitch: the site remains free, please enjoy the puzzles guilt-free. I know many many of you do and for that, I am pleased. However, if you’ve been enjoying the work and you’ve got a couple of extra beans in your pocket, it does help with some administrative costs. Suggested donation of $20, please and thank you, through PayPal or Venmo preferred, but there’s always Zelle (to the email in the “get in touch” link coming up), checks, hell I’ll take crypto. Get in touch. Long form appeal is here.

Everyone who can contribute will get two bonus puzzles as a thank you: one themed, one themeless, both Sunday- (read: super-) sized. And one randomly selected donor will get a customized puzzle from me. Thanks to all who’ve been able to chip in thus far.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
