Dec. 19th, 2022 02:37 pmCrossword setter Steve Mossberg has created Eight Cryptic Nights, a Chanukah themed variety cryptic crossword set. He's releasing one puzzle a night for the whole holiday, on his website Square Pursuit, with a meta to follow once all the puzzles are solved. I did the first one last night. It was smallish, 7x7, and had a simple but clever gimmick. And helped get me in the holiday spirit. If you're interested in solving with me, I'm up for cosolvers any night, they don't need to commit to the whole holiday. My rough plan is to shoot for starting at 9:30PM or so, Eastern Time, each night. The first puzzle took me not more than fifteen minutes on my own.
