Hot Feet - 7x7 🌑
Cryptic Mini #000000019: "Hot Feet" obscuration level: 🌑 (bring a flashlight) This started as 🌒 but again, my inner sicko steered the bus right into the abyss. These aren't the *most* misleading clues I've ever written, but I think for the scale of this blog, they're as tough as I'll make 'em. Hope they bring you despair & delight!
Y2K-era Search - 7x7 🌔
Cryptic Mini #000000018: "Y2K-era Search" obscuration level: 🌔 (cute, but not too cute) This started as 🌕 but my inner sicko got the best of me, I couldn't help but throw *some* trickiness in. Hope it makes you delightfully frustrated!
San Diego Zoo - 9x9 🌔
Cryptic Mini #000000017: "San Diego Zoo" obscuration level: 🌔 (friendly neighborhood misdirection) Weird shape, I know. I played around with this one a *lot*, but I think it's settled into a nice place? Hope it's not too hard for the newbies, or too easy for the experts!
Very Legal - 7x7 🌔
Cryptic Mini #000000016: "Very Legal" obscuration level: 🌔 (goes down smooth) Happy (belated) Pi Day! I forgot to make a pi(e)-related puzzle, but hopefully this one is just as scrumptious & irrational :)
20 Cents - 9x9 🌒
Cryptic Mini #000000015: "20 Cents" obscuration level: 🌒 (some toughies, and some softies!) Okay, this is really a 🌑 that's been watered down with some 🌓s and maybe even a 🌔. I have a feeling some of you are going to frown at some of these clues... but hopefully more of you will smile! 🌝
Spirit of Victory - 5x5 🌕
Cryptic Mini #000000014: "Spirit of Victory" obscuration level: 🌕 (easy breezy beautiful... cryptic girl) Another one for the beginners out there! Though I admit there is a *pinch* of obscuration here. But I think you can handle it! If not, don't forget the hints :)
Pastrami in New York - 7x7 🌓
Cryptic Mini #000000013: "Pastrami in New York" obscuration level: 🌓 (maybe a shade darker) A weird shape today, I just had some 6-letter answers I wanted to fit in. Hope you like 'em!
IP Freely - 7x7 🌔
Cryptic Mini #000000012: "IP Freely" obscuration level: 🌔 (some are 🌕, some 🌓) I tried to make this one clear and easy... but sometimes I couldn't help himself! The cryptic devil made me do it!
