We’re once again running a year-end fundraiser. As we share on our Support Us page, DCL has always been a free resource. Daily posts, News & Notes bulletins, puzzle recommendations, and Constructor Spotlights will remain free. But it remains important that I recover site costs and acknowledge the time and energy of DCL volunteers.
Your generosity last year allowed us to add Jess Rucks’ fabulous Constructor Spotlights to the site. We don’t have specific plans for our next addition, other than getting News & Notes and puzzle recs back on a regular schedule, but if we match last year, we’ll find something.
Our team has prepared six 15×15 and three 7×7 puzzles which we’ll happily send to solvers who make a donation of any size between now and the new year.
Information on how to donate can be found at our Support Us page. Please include your email address in a message with the transaction and we’ll get the puzzles over to you. We’re still putting the finishing touches together, but will send the first batch by Friday, 12/19 at the latest.
You can donate any amount to DCL to get the pack. If you donated at any time in 2025, we’ll also happily share it with you. Depending on what information Venmo or PayPal share with me, you might need to ping us at crosswordlinks [at] gmail [dot] com to share your email address, but we’ll be trying to reach you, too.
We are also happy to share the pack to anyone who donates $15 or more to a crossword tip jar or newly subscribes to an indie Patreon or subscription service. Your favorite constructor, AVCX, Crosswordr, or Crosshare are all great options, among many others. Email a receipt of that donation or new subscription (between 12/12 and 12/31) to crosswordlinks [at] gmail [dot] com if you choose that route.
If you missed last year’s (four puzzle) fundraiser pack, we’ll include it with any DCL donation of $20 or more, or any tip jar or new indie subscription of $25 or more.
Once again: nine puzzles available exclusively to donors who give before the new year. Donations to DCL of any size get the puzzles. New donations/subscriptions to other crossword places of $15 or more get the puzzles. If you donated to us earlier in 2025, we’ll get you the puzzles. If you missed last year’s puzzles, donate at least $20 to DCL or $25 to another indie crossword venture to get both year’s packs. Visit Support Us for information on making a donation to DCL.
Thank you for your support.
