crossword puzzles by hazel virdó
my long-time friend Kirr has constructed an impressive debut puzzle that i’m happy to be hosting as the first guest post on puz-zel. in their words:
I really enjoyed Hazel’s first puzzle on this site—enough that it inspired me to take a stab at constructing one of my own! Here’s the result!
Kirr’s voice, with all its clever wordplay and cheeky humor, comes right through in their puzzle. add that to the playful theme (and the lack of proper nouns in the fill) and, naturally, i loved it. i hope you do, too.
my first published puzzle on my brand new website. i registered a clever domain that portmanteaus with my name and everything.
this puzzle’s theme spotlights one of my favorite linguists. i don’t have much more to say about it other than notice me senpai.
