A Valentine's gift

Image
  A spicy cryptic for Valentine's Day. This was made using using Ingrid and hand editing the JPZ file. I have tested this in a few solvers and it works fine but I really made this this puzzle with the Crossweird Solver in mind. Dob has made a really great tool for the community and is much better than the solvers of major crossword outlets. ❤ Dob  This puzzle has a unique shape and fill. There are no across clues, instead they are replaced with ❤ clues. ❤🧡💜 entries are written in the grid left to right (in V shapes). White cells are not checked by these clues. Down entries are normal.    Open fullscreen solver  or download  JPZ

  New year, new puzzle. Another midi themed effort I hope you enjoy. This year again the plan is to try and do a puzzle a month but whether this actually happens is probably based on how many good ideas I can come up with.    Fullscreen link    Crosshare Open fullscreen solver

Hidden Depths

  It has been a bit since I posted a puzzle. I should really make more. This one took a bit to get right. This is a variety cryptic so there is a bit of extra work involved to finish the puzzle.  One entry will tell you the problem and another will tell you the solution.  Good luck   Full screen link

A Jigsaw for AntZ

 A second puzzle! This time it is an ABC jigsaw variation. So what is the starting point of ABC Jigsaws? Get a grid with 26 entries. Of course trying to do that in a smaller grid canwork but leaves a lot of answers with very short lengths. So I tried halfing the number of clues and using the first and last letters for my pangram.  It was rather constraining but I think the result is pretty good. This was made as an iPuz using a googlesheet provided by Alex Boisvert and I am posting it with a Crossword Nexus applet because they work with iPuz and Crosshare doesn't. Read the Notes for info on how to solve.
