 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).

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

Crossword #20: The Gizmo Advent Calendar

 Ho, ho, ho! It's the esteemed constructor and celebrant of all holiday traditions Gizmo Thwomp. Here's an advent calendar. You can solve one Gizmini for each of the first 16 days of December! (Note: solving time may have to be extended into January.) Sorry for the wait. It's been busy, with my Tonight Show appearance and upcoming guest star role on Fill Me In. Happy gizmolidays, Gizmo Thwomp

Crossword #19: Gizmo Made A Cryptic (NOT CLICKBAIT) (ft. Bob Weisz)

 Cowabunga dude, I'm "diving" right into the "wave" of cryptic crosswords sweeping the "ocean" of crosswords. Today I'm "hanging ten" with the irreplaceable  Bob Weisz . Have fun and remember to not "surf" the net for answers. Sleep tight, Gizmo Thwomp

Crossword #18: Hiatuses are Over

 Aloha, After a very relaxing vacation in the assembly line of a Singapore yo-yo factory, Gizmo is back in business, with a "punny" theme that is certain to tickle your funny bone. Aloha, Gizmo Thwomp

Crossword #17: Oops! All Rebuses

 Salutations, After the last few themeless puzzles, I decided to go for a bit of a variety puzzle. It shouldn't change the formula too much. Each square has between 2 and 9 letters in it.  Enjoy? Gizmo Thwomp

Crossword #16: Palate Cleanser

 Top of the morning to you, I figured after my last puzzle I would take a break from huge puzzles. Don't get used to it. Have great, Gizmo Thwomp
