Puzzle #74: A Badass Ending

This week's puzzle (pdf, puz, pdf solution) is a relative rarity on this site: a straightforward early-week theme. I sent this to a couple of newspapers but they felt that 30-Across wasn't famous enough for Tuesday difficulty, so you get it here instead!

Puzzle #73: World's Worst Cereal Ideas

The title for this one (pdf, puz, pdf solution) is pretty self-explanatory, I'd say. Enjoy the puzzle!

Puzzle #72: Duped

There's a rule in crosswords that you can't duplicate part of an answer in one of the clues, especially the clue for that answer. Unfortunately, just as I was about to post this puzzle (pdf, puz, pdf solution), I noticed that every single answer was duplicated in the clue for that answer! I was in a rush so I just deleted the offending dupes from the clues - hopefully it's still solvable.

Puzzle #71: The Sound of Music

With my Outside the Box puzzle on Monday and my NYT puzzle yesterday, hopefully you all didn't get tired of seeing my byline last week! If you didn't, please enjoy today's puzzle (pdf, puz, pdf solution).

Puzzle #70: Not With a Bang

If you're a subscriber to Joon Pahk's Outside the Box puzzles (which you should be!), you'll get a double dose of me today. I've got a guest puzzle there (a variety cryptic), and the usual puzzle here (pdf, puz, pdf solution). Enjoy!

Puzzle #69: Nice

Last week's meta, Flight Path, asked you to identify a flower. Lots of people sent me the right answer: following the long down entry, MAKE A BEELINE FOR, you can wend your way through the grid following the B's from the top left to (almost) the bottom right - continuing the path to the bottom right corner spells out ROSE, which is your answer.

No puz file for this week's crossword (pdf, pdf solution), because Across Lite doesn't play well with bars.

Puzzle #68: Flight Path

It's been a while since I've posted a meta on here, so how about one this week (pdf, puz, pdf solution)? The meta answer is a flower.
