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.

All Rise! (Collab with KarshGames)

Hello, people of the internet. It's me, Roy Johnson, back at it again with another crossword puzzle. This time I have something very special. My first ever collab puzzle on the blog. This was a special collaboration between myself and KarshGames, a fellow crossword streamer and crossword setter in the making. (He's already working on his next puzzle. Get hyped.) For this special collab, we have provided a simple offering today: a 15x15 themeless (although with a couple law/courtroom-related words sprinkled in the mix). This is Karsh's first puzzle and I helped make sure it came out as good as it could be. I'm sure you all will have a blast with it. Thanks to everybody who gives this puzzle a try. Karsh's comments on the puzzle:  This was a lot of fun, and it's definitely kickstarted a new hobby for me. I'm already working on a puzzle of my own! Check out Karsh's channel here . You should give him a follow. He's a chill dude! 👍 [  Full Screen  |  PUZ...

Alphabet Soup #4

Long time, no puzz. Roy Johnson here and it certainly has been a while since you've seen a puzz from me. Not for lack of trying. But I guess I'm what you might call a " mood constructor ". I have some puzzles in the works but nary the inspiration or time to work on it consistently. But hey, here's a puzzle from me now. Specifically a Alphabet Soup , my series of midi pangram puzzles. I did something slightly  different with this puzzle going for a 11x13 grid instead of the usually 11x11, allowing for some more interesting entrees here. So hopefully, you'll enjoy it. Thanks to anybody who checks this puzzle out. Special thanks to  Jacob Reed   for test solving this. [  Full Screen  |  PUZ  ] Created by Roy Johnson using crossword maker by Amuse Labs

In celebration of this year coming to a close, along with this being my first year as a crossword setter, I decided to celebrate with one more puzzle before the year is over. This is a themeless American-style crossword , the type you'll usually see in the New York Times. No fancy shmancy themes or anything. Just a good ole typical crossword for you all to enjoy. So sit back, relax, and enjoy my seventh AS crossword . Happy New Years everybody. :) Special thanks to  Random Saucepan  and Warrigal  for test solving this. [  Full Screen  |  PUZ  ]
