I’m from Philadelphia originally, so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out what jawn was my seed here.

Tough as Nails Themeless #72
I don’t have much to say about this one except: Have at it!
Tough as Nails Themeless #71
This one’s been rejected twice. I think it’s a damn good puzzle anyway, so here you go.
Tough as Nails Themeless #70
Call this one the Fittest Themeless on Earth.
Tough as Nails Themeless #69
It’s an oversized surprise! The clues on this one might not be quite as hard as usual, but the size should slow you down at least a bit. Enjoy!
Tough as Nails Themeless #68
July has been a very crammed month with puzzle projects I hope to be able to tell you about very soon. Yay! Also, if you want something done, ask a busy person. If the something you want done is a crossword puzzle or trivia questions, you should ask this busy person! (Assuming we agree on a pay rate, of course. Mama don’t work “for exposure.”)
This is the one place I do make puzzles for free — and here’s the latest.
Tough as Nails Themeless #67
My motto in life lately is, “If you want something done, ask a busy person.” I’m glad I had a nice vacation, because now it’s time to be productive as hell! Will announce all the various projects I have going on when I’m allowed to do so.
In the meantime, I’m not too busy to keep the puzzles coming. Enjoy! (Yes, I can see that the font size on the links is different. No, I don’t feel like figuring it out right now.)
Tough as Nails Themeless #66
First of all, to those who’ve left comments re: errors on the last couple of puzzles, thank you for being polite about it; I’ve had issues with rude commenters in the past, and I appreciate that folks have stuck to the facts lately instead of name-calling. I apologize for the errors. (I continue to publish puzzles without an editor or test solvers, which means I can get you this stuff on the regular and without charging you, but also that sometimes I fuck up.)
I’m on vacation as this post goes up, and will have some exciting puzzle projects that I hope to be able to tell you all about soon when I get back. It’s going to be a busy summer! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this puzzle while I’m gone.
Tough as Nails Self-Indulgent Bonus

Hey, look, it’s a bonus puzzle! Can I really call it a themeless if there’s a running thread of self-indulgence through the entire thing? Be nice, it’s both my 17-Across AND my 9-Down.
Somebody posted asking me to make the PDFs ink savers. I don’t know how to do that. I usually make the PDFs from Across Lite. If you know how to make ink-saver grids from Across Lite or Crossfire, tell me and I can start doing that. Otherwise, you get what you pay for!
Also, it has 74 words. Like I said, self-indulgent. I think you’ll like it anyway. 🙂
