Roy Johnson's Crossword Hub

Hey guys, long time no blog. It's me, Roy Johnson. Nice to see you again.  It has been awhile since this blog has been in use. About seventeen months since my last crossword . And over two years  since my last cryptic crossword . Fittingly, this is another cryptic midi. I feel like midis are better for helping me get out of my crossword funk. Stretch out my cryptic writing muscles. I'm still learning the ropes of cryptic cluing but I'm doing my best. I like how this one turned out. I can't promise this'll be a full return to crossword making but we'll see how it goes. Anyway, hope you enjoy. 😊 Special thanks to  DragonEngineer97 , Skaldskaparmal ,  thatotherdavidguy , and Frisco17   for test solving and helping with the cryptic. Your feedback was greatly appreciated. Also, if you ever stream yourself playing this cryptic, let me know. I would love to catch the solve live or watch the VOD.

Lights, camera, action! It's time for a special movie-themed cryptic for you all. This one is themed after Oscar Night with a lot of Oscar-themed entries. See if you can discover them all. I worked very hard on this cryptic, wanting it to be the best it could be. So hopefully you enjoy it :)   Special thanks to  Bob Weisz   and juff   for test solving this cryptic.

Hello there, wonderful people of the internet. It's me, Roy Johnson, here to announce my newest cryptic for all of you to enjoy. Lol I've been running out of new things to say in these blogs. The usual spiel about how I worked hard and took in feedback and am hopefully improving.  One thing that some people might take issue with is the gridding of the puzzle. And that is definitely something I'll keep in mind for future puzzles. Regardless, I think this new cryptic of mine is a lot of fun and has a lotta cool stuff in it. So hopefully, you feel the same way. Enjoy :) Special thanks to Bob Weisz ,  thatotherdavidguy , and  bolgat  for test solving this puzzle. Your feedback and suggestions were invaluable.  [  Full Screen  |  PUZ  ]

Hello, everybody, it's ya boy Roy. In case, you couldn't tell who it was. I'm back with another cryptic today. I definitely worked hard on it and continued taking in feedback from a variety of sources including awesome streamers. I used all of that knowledge and poured it into a crossword that is hopefully even more awesomer than the last two. No theme this time. Just some cryptic shenanigans in a cool grid. Hope you'll enjoy. :) Special thanks to  thatotherdavidguy and bolgat  for test solving this puzzle. Your feedback and suggestions were invaluable.   [  Full Screen  |  PUZ  ]

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  ]

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  ]
