Crossword #26: Bompzowgithmy

 Howdy, It seems like every regular-sized crossword these days is just three or four theme entries plus a revealer - yawn! As a refreshing change, here's a puzzle that's a theme entry plus 10 revealers instead. (You might want to solve  Will Nediger's puzzle  first. ) Thank you for your support. I don't have a Ko-fi link, but my windowsill is always open to carrier pigeons, provided they are carriers of wads of cash.

Crossword #25: Wait, It's All Gizmo Thwomp? Always Has Been

 Bonjour or whatever, Welcome back to my second Gizmo Day puzzle, celebrating my first puzzle on the blog. I posted 2 puzzles on the same day in July 25th (Welcome to the Blog and Sea Shanties), so it's only right that I do the same on this monumental day. This puzzle is inspired by my greatest muse - myself. Please enjoy, or else. This is also the last puzzle to be posted on the Gizmo blog today... but it's not the last you'll hear from me. Happy Gizmo Day, and see you soon. Arrivederci or whatever, Gizmo Thwomp Created using crossword maker by Amuse Labs

Crossword #24: You Will Solve This Puzzle (ft. Random Saucepan)

Buongiorno, It is my honor to declare today, July 25th, International Gizmo Day. On this day, one year ago, the Gizmo blog was created. I have reached widespread success and world renown since then, but my path to crossword stardom is not over. To start a day of merry crosswording and general praise of myself, I introduce you to a collaboration from the Gizmo vaults with my prodigé, Random Saucepan. Half of this puzzle is constructed by either of us. I leave it to the viewer's discretion to determine which is which. Stay tuned! This is not the last you'll hear from me today... Happy Gizmo Day, Gizmo Thwomp Created by using crossword creator by Amuse Labs

Crossword #23: World's First Invisible Crossword

 G'devening mate, You all have nothing but disrespect for me. I give you the best puzzles in the industry and you still say, "Oh, I can solve this with my eyes closed"? Oh, yeah? Want to bet? I've created a puzzle that should hopefully be completely invisible, with an appropriate theme to boot. No clues. No grid. Just your own wits, and see how you do if you really want to test me. (Later Gizmo Note: Had technical issues in making empty grid and empty clues and invisible crossword. Please just close your eyes.) G'dbye, Gizmo Thwomp

 April the Seventh be with you! (Little Star Wars reference for my nerds out there.) The illustrious Frisco17 and I assembled 72 of the best crossword constructors I know, to make this the GREATEST CROSSOVER IN CROSSWORD HISTORY. It features tons of incredible cluing work, an immaculate grid by Frisco, and a clue by myself that makes this puzzle difficult to fit on one printed page (Sorry ACPT people for needing a magnifying glass to solve this puzzle. Surprised no one said hi to me during the whole convention, by the way. I was only 10 states or so away.) I digress. Please enjoy this puzzle, DECADES in the making (all of the contributors had to be born for this to even happen). Please support those who collaborated on this puzzle in this large series of links: https://crosswordscholar.wordpress.com/ https://acrosswordrose.blogspot.com/ https://luckyxwords.com/ https://aaronson.org/ https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Benutzer/eingestellt.php?name=arctan https://haymarketssquare...

Crossword #21: Bigger, Faster, Stronger, Gizmer

 Long time, no see, Today I've come to you with an innovation rivaling my 15-stack. It's not that much more impressive, just 6 more rows and columns. I'm really "fishing for attention" here... hope you catch the "bait"! Apologies for the long wait. The crosswording lobe of my brain was accidentally lobotomized in an unrelated procedure. Hopefully, you won't notice a difference in my performance! Catch you on the flipside, Gizmo Thwomp
