Section Eight #3

Section Eight #3 - Harder (PDF) | Easier (PDF) | Harder (JPZ) | Easier (JPZ) | Solution (PDF)

Back this month with another Section Eight puzzle! There are Harder and Easier difficulty options in both PDF format for paper solving and JPZ format for digital solving. To solve on your computer, first download your preferred JPZ file above, and then head over to Crossword Nexus and open the JPZ file to solve on their interface. Either way you solve, hope you enjoy!

Continuing acknowledgment to Patrick Berry for inventing this ingenious format. Patrick writes precisely one Section Eight a year these days, and this year's rendition was recently published in the Wall Street Journal, so get to work on that if you're as much of fan of these puzzles as I am. 

And if that doesn't scratch the itch, be sure to pick up last year's S8: A Section Eight Puzzle Pack, which features 10 original Section Eights by yours truly. Also, the inaugural Rows Garden Six Pack, released last month, is still available and solver feedback so far is positive. Be sure to snap up Six Pack #1 if you haven't already, and work on the second Six Pack is already underway.

Happy solving!

From A to Z #2 - PDF | Grayscale PDF | Solution (PDF)

Back with another From A to Z puzzle this month. I hadn't realized it has been a full three years since posting the first of these puzzles. It's a fun and unique format and I'm happy to feature it again. PDF only - hope you enjoy!

Also, the September monthly bundle for Aries Rows Garden is now available, and a reminder that subscriptions are always open if you don't want to wait for the bundle every month. 

Last but not least, I'm thrilled to announce my next puzzle pack: it's called S8: A Section Eight Puzzle Pack! If you're a fan of Section Eight puzzles as much as I am, you'll love this collection of 8 brand-new puzzles. The official release date is October 24th, but if you pre-order before October 24th you'll get an additional two-puzzle bonus bundle immediately upon pre-ordering. 10/24/2024 UPDATE: S8 has been officially released! The Bonus Bundle is still available now as an add-on. For more details and to order, click here.
