"Cool Flip Trick" Did I ever mention that I co-run a cryptic venue? It's called Cryptic Crossweird , which I formed in January with Momes and Dob of the Twitch stream CrossweirdTV . We pay constructors for mid-size cryptics and publish them twice a month ( submissions are open! ).

My final Browser cryptic 😔 15x15

Sadly, the wonderful weekly cryptic at The Browser will be no more after the end of the year. I was able to sneak one in before the end, and it might be my favorite cryptic yet.
