Puzzmo is publishing a crossword book!

Announcing Puzzmo’s first crossword book

Today, we announced Puzzmo’s first crossword book. It contains 30 crossword reruns from 2024, 10 book-exclusive crosswords, more than 10 pages of paper remixes of Flipart and Really Bad Chess by Zach and Jack, and a few quick essays from the three of us. You can place an order here! The book is very Puzzmo-coded! We’ve included word separation boundaries in the grids, and have a QR code that’ll let you access all the hints.

For me, this is the ideal way to do a crossword. I don't do any internet crossword regularly because I simply love pen and paper more. You know when you're at the grocery store, looking at the magazines, and thinking, who is buying those variety puzzle books anymore?

It's me, hi.

If you've noticed some more puzzle videos from me recently, Puzzmo is why. A few months ago, they put out a call for video creators, I signed up, and now I'm a Puzzmo Insider. That means I get access to early puzzles so I can film solves, but also beta test the new puzzles (I just played the next one this morning 🤐).

When I started streaming back in 2021, I didn't know exactly what I was going to do. Make zines, of course, but how would that work on screen? So I started with crosswords because everyone else streams games, and crosswords are mine.

(Maybe I need to plan a trip to New York for Crossword Con in April?)
