Happy (or unhappy) Ides of March! Enjoy this thematic puzzle from Hannah:

When I realized our midi schedule coincided with the Ides of March, I knew I had to make this puzzle. I was really into Shakespeare as a teenager. I hope this theme amuses at least one other person besides me!

Also, we are taking submissions for midi puzzles through the month of March! Please see this post for more details. We’re very excited to see your ideas!

Where the hell have you been, loca?

Welcome back. We sincerely hope you enjoy this puzzle inspired Maddie’s recent move to the Pacific Northwest and the tween nostalgia that will forever live in our hearts.

Throw this on to set the mood and get started.

Also, our midi contest is open! Please see this post for details! We’re excited to see your submissions!

We are thrilled to be opening submissions for midi crosswords during the month of March! Please see the specs below. We look forward to seeing your spooky puzzles!

We hope you enjoy our first Mid-Month Midi, written by Madison Shultz!

Keep an eye out for an exciting announcement coming soon! 👀

Welcome back! Our February puzzle is by Hannah Binney:

I made the first version of this morbid puzzle early in my construction journey. It has finally found its home on Crossword Curiosities!

Welcome to Crossword Curiosities! We hope to make this blog a home for puzzles that are spooky, creepy, macabre, quirky, or otherwise too niche for other publications. Look out for new puzzles on the first of each month!

Our first puzzle is from Madison Shultz:

As a medical device engineer, I spend a lot of time thinking about the insides of people. As a crossword constructor, I spend a lot of time thinking about wordplay. Here the two shall meet. I hope you enjoy!
