Aries Cryptic #36 - "Christmas Acrosses" - PUZ | PDF | PDF (Grayscale) | Solution (PDF) | Intro to Cryptics (PDF)
Back this month with a cryptic! I didn't realize it's been nearly two years since the last cryptic that I posted here. I have something of a love-hate relationship with cryptics, so it's a format that's probably best that I only do sporadically. This one is a scaled-down 11x11 block cryptic. I had a couple of Christmas-related cryptic angles that I wanted to use and with the smaller grid size it was nice to be able to get all the Across clues to feature some surface sense related to the holiday. There are PUZ and PDF options above, and an applet for online solving below. As always, hope you enjoy!
On the Rows Garden front, the fourth and final Six Pack is on deck for a December 26 release, so stop by very soon to purchase!
Happy solving!
