This has been a big year for experimentation for me when it comes to crossword construction.

I attempted my first Schrodinger puzzle, played around with palindromes and semordnilaps, tried out some pixel art in my PG Poe grid, and I’ve been experimenting with rebuses and other puzzle gimmickry that you haven’t seen yet.

So it was only a matter of time before I decided to try my hand at a midi crossword. This 9×9 grid is the result.

Happy puzzling, everyone!

(And don’t worry, this isn’t it for freebies this month. There’s still my traditional Thanksgiving Day variety puzzle to come!)
