Buttsbot

Image
         Hi again. So uh, this is a weird one to have to explain...   Okay so on Twitch, there's a chatbot called Buttsbot who you can invite to come into your stream chat, where it will randomly repeat things people have said, replacing one or more syllables with "butt."  I promise, it's funnier than it sounds. This puzzle, which is called Buttsbot, is about Buttsbot.  I made it with Lila , who is amazing!  This is our first collab and her first cryptic.  Check out all her really fun non-cryptic puzzles which are just oozing with style! Thanks to Liari for clue assistance, and to Skald , Pixlate , teamcrazymatt , n0hk , and MP for the test solves. Fullscreen link .

Seed Entry

  Hey all, If you're a follower of this blog you may be interested in a new project I'm spinning up called The Gnomon .  The goal of The Gnomon will be to put out high quality American style variety cryptics, in batches about about 4, about every other month, for six bucks apiece, starting June 1st, with free previews in February and April.  If that sounds like something you might be interested in solving, head on over and sign up for email updates.  And especially if you're a constructor I'd love to work with you on running a puzzle of yours.  Our style sheet with info about pay rates and rights can be found here .

Also, for the last few months I've been delighted to serve...

Thematic Foursome 11/8/2025

Hi! I still have a blog! I haven't been here much; if you missed my last couple posts, I've been putting most of my crosswording effort into The Gnomon these days. Maybe I should outline what I've done since the last time I posted?  I've composed nine and edited seven puzzles for The Gnomon , which has been an absolute dream and keeps on growing, with five more puzzles (only two by me) coming December 1. I've appeared in The Browser in #212 (with Roland Ingram ), #225, #236, and should have one more (another collab) before the Browser wraps up its weekly cryptic at the end of the year.  I composed in the tenth puzzle on  Cryptic Crossweird , the cryptics patreon run by Dob, Momes and Bob from the twitch stream Crossweird. And in August, Jess Shulman and I were back in the Wall Street Journal with a puzzle titled Boxes . But  Somehow none of those were the impetus for this post!  Over the last few days I've been constructing a puzzle live on twitch.tv, with a...
