FLASHBACK THEMELESS MONDAY:
[ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]

Flashback today. All the way back to the first year of the blog, some five years ago, almost. Crazy to think I've been doing this for five years. Here's to fifty more. Anyway, this puzzle was in response to a similarly wide-open Matt Jones themeless that he'd run in his indie syndicate at the time. Mine, I feel, is noteworthy for the 6x6 chunk of white in the middle as well as the stacked 4s in the corners. Maybe when I have more time on my hands I'll try something like this again. That might be in twentyish years, methinks. Enjoy.
Oh yeah, I got a copy of my latest book this weekend. It's a collection of 42 mini-Marching Bands puzzles. I say mini because the grids are 11x instead of the more common 13x puzzles. No matter, this book is one of my best. Here is a sample of the mini version. Basically, if you're a fan of this site and love the Themeless Mondays, this book is for you. If you have a spare $6 burning a hole in your pocket, please consider pre-ordering a copy, will ya? Thanks
