THEMELESS MONDAY: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
If I haven't already, I should say a big thank you to Peter Gordon. As far as I can tell, he's the first constructor to use this basic black and white pattern for themelesses. It's no fun trying to build puzzles with flashy 12-letter seed entries because of the three forced black squares in the grid construction. That said, this grid accomodates two of them rather nicely while allowing for a lot of room to put other fun entries. It's easily one of my favorite stock grids to work with.
If you feel like it, Peter's looking for some help with his latest Fireball Newsweekly Crossword Kickstarter. Give if you can.
