  • Autumn Classical Music Crossword Puzzle

    Autumn Classical Music Crossword Puzzle

    It’s ginger snaps for breakfast!

    One of things I did to fill the time during the pandemic was think up clues for crossword puzzles while tidying up the house. Here’s the revival of one of those, on the subject of autumn. The answers are all related in one way or another to classical music and the season.

    Of course, I wouldn’t ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do myself. When filling out the puzzle this morning, I was delighted to find among the answers my old favorites, “SIBELIUS” and “VAUGHANWILLIAMS.”

    Follow the link and select “solve online” at the bottom of the page. You’ll then be able to type directly into the squares. Once you feel you’ve exhausted the puzzle, you’ll find the solutions by clicking on “Answer Key PDF.”

    Take it or leaf it! Celebrate autumn by raking through 50 colorful clues here:

  • Flag Day Crossword Puzzle Challenge

    Flag Day Crossword Puzzle Challenge

    It amuses me that I’m such a flighty bird, and yet I am able to hyperfocus on ridiculous projects like coming up with 45 musical clues about the American Flag!

    For a while, when we were all sitting at home during COVID, I made it a point to pull together a crossword puzzle for every Sunday. I would come up with the clues during the week while doing the dishes. I just came across this one, which, conveniently, is Flag Day specific.

    To fill out the puzzle, follow the link and select “solve online” at the bottom of the page. You’ll then be able to type directly into the squares. Once you feel you’ve exhausted the puzzle, you’ll find the solutions by clicking on “Answer Key PDF.”

    I probably should have specified in one or two of the clues that a full name or title is required (that is to say, more than one word).
