"Turkish Delight" (5x5 — September 30 2025)

This puzzle is in honour of my re-reading of the Narnia books for my "Fantasy Worlds in Lewis, Pullman, and Jones" class! I only read LWW when I was a kid, so it was fun to also delve into The Magician's Nephew, Prince Caspian, and The Last Battle (though I didn't care for the latter).

"Redrum" (5x5 — September 18 2025)

Being scarred by Coraline when I was 8 was enough to make me swear off horror movies for life... until this year, when I had to watch The Shining for my Fantasy and Horror class. The things I hate the most are jumpscares and graphic body horror (I have no problem reading horror novels), so this was a pretty good option for me. I still had to watch it in broad daylight, but at least I was able to sleep that night.

"Look To The Western Sky" (15x15 — September 8 2025)

 I'm back with my first themeless 15x15! I'm still making crosswords for my school newspaper, The Varsity, this year, so I'll be posting new 5x5s and 15x15s around twice a month for the next while. Most (if not all) of them will be themed. I am beyond excited for Wicked: For Good this November!
