DCL Highlights, Week of 2/24

Reminder: This weekly post is not at all an attempt to pick the “best” puzzles, and we won’t be commenting as critics. Our approach is best described as “puzzles we don’t think you should miss.” Kind of like staff recommendations at a local bookstore.

Autostraddle: AF+ Crossword is Making Kkakdugi and Watching “The Prom” (2/24) by Emet Ozar. An easy and fun mini theme in a midi full of fun on-brand references. – Norah

The Modern Crossword: Spread Too Thin (3/2) by Amie Walker and Sarah Sinclair. A deliciously controversial theme and cluing worthy of the Modern banner. – Norah

Los Angeles Times: Themeless (2/24) by Guilherme Gilioli. Tough but satisfying with a broad slice of knowledge and culture and an especially impressive stack in the bottom half. – Norah

Crossworthy: Live to 100 💙 (2/18) by May Huang & Kevin Trickey. Fun to solve and just looks cool!

The Modern Crossword: @#$% Words (2/24) by Enrique Henestroza Anguiano and Chandi Deitmer. Another fun theme from the Modern, which is well worth the cost of a Puzzle Society sub once its paywall goes into effect. – Rich

The Modern Crossword: Themeless 63 (2/25) by Rafael Musa. Love both spanners in this 16×14 puzzle. – Rich

The New Yorker: The Crossword (2/26) by Erik Agard. Absolutely gorgeous grid design and fantastic cluing – Rich
