Okay, so it only took me almost five years to figure out how to embed an online solver. I’m way better at crosswords than I am at technology, OK? Hopefully I will remember how to do this next time. Yes, I know it’s not working, working on it!

And here’s this week’s puzzle by the usual means, for those who like it that way:

Tough as Nails Themeless #122 – Across Lite

Exciting news: I have quit my day job! I’ve wanted to call myself a full-time constructor for a few years now. I’m not there yet, but this year I did the math and realized that a) I was closer than I thought and b) it’s just not sustainable any longer to be a staff writer at an ad agency when I’m chasing the dream. So here I am chasing the dream — if you need a puzzlemaker, please hire me! I’ve made puzzles for private clients about everything from instant coffee to tourism to educational apps.

And if you just want to solve this week’s themeless, you can do that too. Here it is!
