American-Style Crossword #2

Image
Hello, folks, Roy Johnson here. And I'm back with another American-style crossword. I've gotten feedback on my last American-style and worked with new software like Ingrid to make this one even better. This is a simpler crossword with no theme. But hopefully, you'll enjoy this one just the same.   Special thanks to PuzzleJohn for test solving this.  [  Full Screen  |  PUZ  ]

Roy Johnson's Cryptic #2 (Theme)

Hello there. It's me, Roy Johnson. Back at it again with another cryptic. This is now my second puzzle and hopefully you will see some improvements over the first one. Clues have been fine-tuned. Grid has less unches. And all of the awesome feedback from the first cryptic has went into making this one even better (hopefully). Also this one has a fun theme to it. See if you can guess it? Hope you'll enjoy. :) Special thanks to  Steve Mossberg  for test solving this puzzle.  [  Full Screen  |  PUZ  ]

American-Style Crossword #1 (Theme)

Note: Upon further reflection and crossword making, I realize this is a very  flawed crossword. I would almost call it completely terrible. In any case, I wouldn't recommend trying this if this is your first crossword of mine. I'd recommend literally any of my other American-Style crosswords. But hey, if you still wanna give this puzzle a try, go ahead. Just don't say I didn't warn you. Hello everybody, Roy Johnson here. Ready to present you all with my first ever American-style crossword. This was a fun process but also a struggle. Definitely ran into multiple situations where I felt like ramming my head through a wall trying to get these words to work into the grid. Even now, in its most complete state, there are two hints that I feel are total cheats. But I'm still proud of this puzzle and hopefully, this serves as a stepping stone to make even better crosswords. Also, this is a themed crossword so see if you can guess the theme. It should be obvious.  Hope you...

Roy Johnson's Cryptic #1

This is it, everybody. Truly a momentous occasion. The first ever cryptic crossword from yours truly, Roy Johnson. This was a long and arduous task --- poured my blood, sweat, and tears into it --- but here it is. The first of hopefully many more crosswords to come. I'm sure, as a first time puzzler, this puzzle will contain some kinks but I'm excited nevertheless to show this to the world. Hope you'll enjoy. :) Special thanks to Dob Olino of Crossweird for test solving this puzzle. Your feedback was invaluable.  [ Full Screen | PUZ  ]
