puzzle one hundred and thirty seven: croods themeless

as you may know, i love themeless puzzles and that is why they are the only thing i post on this blog. this puzzle first started as an attempt to [add seven-paragraph-long essay about every entry that i managed to fit into this puzzle in a vague enough way that it doesn't spoil the puzzle but specifically enough that i can justify writing this blurb]. luckily i was able to [imply i'm a coding god]

puzzle one hundred and thirty five: ASSface

sorry really sad about not hearing from coby. here's an assface.

note: every entry in this grid is an ANAGRAM of a word in its clue, a SEMORDNILAP of a word in its clue, or a SUPERVOCALIC. also the grid looks like a face.

puzzle one hundred and thirty four: that's business, baby

today's puzzle was inspired by (and submitted to!) my favorite crossword publisher "the morning brew".  tony howell a.k.a. the editor a.k.a. "bae" has graciously lifted submission guidelines from the nyt and instead of paying in money (which nobody needs lol), he is paying in brewneck sweatshirt, valued at 35 dollars. finally!!! i've been waiting to get my hands on one of these.

i have submitted this puzzle to coby three times. maybe more :)

FLATS FURSDAY: FLATS FURSDAY


by participating in flats fursday, you hereby agree to be deemed a furry by proxy. if you were already a furry before participating in flats fursday, it cancels out and you are no longer a furry.

TRANSPOSAL (4)
I know some might find me quite boring,
But I wouldn’t watch furries scoring.
Don’t call me a prude,
I’m okay if art’s lewd.
But I’m kind of OVER re: VOREing.

LETTER BANK (6, *8, 5 1 7)
He looks for SECOND art online,
And likes what he can see.
Legoshi kissing Haru? Fine!
Just keep it, like, PG.
(Alas, that hope is not to last,
He sees one FIRST and THIRD so fast)

WORD DELETION (WHOLE = *4 *6, IN = 3, OUT = 7)
One day at the WHOLE back in one-nine-eight-three,
When Best Musical was announced,
The cast (true to species) let out a big ~IN~,
and then, OUT the audience, pounced.

LETTER BANK (8, *10, 6 4)
Once I made a TEN post
Seeking fellow EIGHT around me.
Many folks responded
(that part kinda does astound me).
We talked about our ears and tails
And all the mice we’ve chased.
We had spaghetti dinner,
With some SIX FOUR (just for taste).
I don’t think I’ll soon forget
Those happy smiles, and how.
All in all, I’d say it was
A purr-fect day. Mee-wow!
