There was a 16-wide themeless in the New York Times a bit ago from Sam Ezersky, and in his commentary , he said "if one is to break the rules, those 16s better be a highlight!" Inspired by that message, I have made a 16-wide themeless in which the spanners are guaranteed hilarious lines that are funny every time. Enjoy! PDF PUZ I know it's been a while since the blog updated, but I promise (I mean it this time!) more content is coming in March. At the end of March, I'll also be attending my first ACPT ! Let me know if I'll see you there! I will be the one with the blue hair!

Something goofy and light to kick off the new year; feels more like a collection of minis than anything else. Been a busy December for me, but I'm hoping for more puzzle content in the new year: more themes, more midis, and hopefully, more collabs (hit me up!) For the next few weeks, though, my mind will be consumed with thinking about the MIT Mystery Hunt. Good tidings! PDF PUZ

Squeaking in under the wire with a timely themed puzzle! This one took a little over 24 hours from idea to execution, so forgive if it feels extremely rough: had to get it done by today! PDF PUZ

Long time no post! It's been a busy month here at the famed Nautilus Puzzles mansion, but I didn't want to let the month go by without putting up another puzzle. The cluing for this one is a bit all over the place; this will either make it charming and personal, or deeply frustrating. Let me know what you think! PDF PUZ

Happy Halloween! This wraps up Midi Monday Month with an... extra-large midi. Maybe it's more like... a mega-sized mini? Whatever it is, it's a size that was wildly difficult to fill, but I do hope you enjoy. This is a tribute to a local icon, Somerville's own Bobby Pickett. Solving experience is much easier in the applet. Have fun! PDF PUZ

It's a Monday! It's a midi! Let me know what you think! PDF PUZ
