cryptics

i occasionally write puzzles. most of them are targeted at people or have physical components, so i have extracted and compiled a shortlist of cryptics i wrote here instead. some will require extra knowledge, and may be spoilers for other puzzles i’ve written. these also may not be original in idea, but they are at least my writing.

these are more stretchy than most American cryptics. starred ones may require a little knowledge of things i find interesting, so you should feel free to google.
