Happy Thanksgiving everybody. And now for a puzzle celebrating what I believe to be the best part of the feast. Your mileage may vary. Either way, enjoy.
I am truly grateful for each and every one of you who keep coming back, week after week. It’s that kind of determination that has made and cemented this here site as the #1 indie crossword spot for well over a decade. #1 amongst all puzzle makers with the initials BEQ, that is. Regardless. It means so much and gives me job satisfaction that I used to dream of. Back when I remembered my dreams. Nowadays, I don’t remember any of them.
Thanksgiving is also a time that I (usually) open up the end of the year puzzle drive. I say this time and time again: the puzzles on this site shall remain free for as long as I’m doing this. Never will there be a paywall. There’s no subscription. It’s just you and the crosswords. That’s it. People ask me: “how can I subscribe?” Short answer: you can’t. Everybody can get on board on this site and dig in.
But, let’s talk turkey. There are some costs in order to keep the site chugging along. That’s why I pass the hat around and ask for a small tip to keep the lights on and the interweb tubes, uh, tubular. Suggest donation of $15, please and thank you. PayPal or Venmo (@TheBEQ) preferred. But I take everything, including crypto, just email me.
Everybody who is able to chip in will receive (as always), two bonus Sunday puzzles as a thank you. A themed one and a themeless one. Great for doing while waiting in lines doing your shopping.
As always, you are by no means obligated to tip. If you can’t, I get it. I don’t expect anything from you other than your continued support on this site. Only if you’ve got a little extra. Please and thank you.
Drive will continue on through December 30th. On January 3rd, I’ll give one randomly selected donor an additional thank you bonus of a subscription to an indie puzzle of their choosing.
Thanks again. Tip, if you can. Enjoy your holidays.
Really fun puzzle Quig, thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
Every year I give thanks for opposable thumbs and Velcro. This year I’ll add BEQ’s puzzles. Thanks man and happy holidays.
Thank you, Brendan — Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi–I’ve donated and I’m trying to email you with my address but the link doesn’t work in either of my two browsers. I sent it to you via PayPal last week.
Thanks for the making Mondays something to look forward to
