Well, well, well, if it isn't a whole second puzzle that we made out of leftover theme options from our Tuesday, September 20, 2022 New York Times puzzle. We were going to make this one the PG-13 version, and then instead we made it about nostalgia music. Enjoy! -Rachel + Rebecca pdf puz

Hello and welcome back to Just Gridding!, the puzzle blog where Rachel and clr and sometimes their brilliant friends post puzzles. Sometimes those puzzles are created expressly for JG, and sometimes they are puzzles in need of a home because their pattern of black squares was deemed "unsightly" by the powers-that-be. Which type of puzzle was this one? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW. (Jk, obviously it can't be the latter because seriously,  look how pretty this grid is ).  All jokes aside, this was a super fun puzzle to make. I made the grid, and Ben Bass  (who writes the NYT cryptogram in the newsprint paper on Tue/Thu) and I collaborated on the clues. Ben discovered his love of writing clues during the creation of the first just-the-grid puzzle, and he did a fabulous job writing some of my favorites in this puzzle. We hope you like it! pdf puz

we would write notes, but we're too busy counting down the hours til our friend comes back -brooke and clr puz pdf  

This is our first "team" puzzle (which is what we are calling collaborations), made in four hours by Rachel, clr, and guest constructor Brooke Husic literally this morning. It's a little eclectic! It's also filled with fun things and backyard kiddie pool vibes. Triple thanks to Matthew Stock for the test solve ❤️! pdf puz
