Guest Puzzle

Image
So a cool thing I've been doing at my synagogue for the 4th and 5th graders I teacher's assist is running a crosswords elective, and what's neat about it is that I've gotten together some Jewish crossword constructors I know to make guest puzzles for it! Will Eisenberg's puzzle was the first week's and the kids loved it, the second week I was unprepared so we just did 6 NYT Daily Minis rapid-fire, and this past Sunday morning was a puzzle titled "Guest Puzzle" by the mysterious "Frisco17". Who could that possibly be? The kids were none the wiser, I'll tell you that much. This puzzle has one of my proudest themes, and plays pretty easy besides said theme. Best of luck! also this puzzle doubles as a birthday gift for one of my favorite Jews on the face of this earth, happy 18th eva!!!! :D .puz

We're back with another Oh No-meration puzzle ! This time around, I decided to collab with the wonderful juff ! They were very helpful in the construction of this puzzle and reminding me that it existed. When asked about the matter, they had this to say: When Frisco asked me if I wanted to make this puzzle with him , I said "yeah ! " And then we made it . And here it is . So yeah, good luck and have fuck Playtested by skarmal , probyphal , loldenberg , and br0hk .puz
