Tough as Nails Themeless #77
Tough as Nails Themeless #76
The library is open, darling. OFFICIALLY!
Surprise! It’s not a themeless!
Despite the near-total focus of this blog on crosswords of various sorts, I really do spend a lot of time on trivia as the text under my logo implies. (Hey Jeopardy! Wanna hire me?)
I’ve gotten to explore the intersection between trivia and crosswords a lot through Inkubator’s collaboration with Atlas Obscura, and today’s puzzle is in that vein (although not in AO’s specifically). I was inspired to make it when I thought of the songs referenced at 19- and 57-Across, which are both really fun, and the connection between them even though they sound nothing alike. I hope you enjoy this departure from the usual!

Tough as Nails Themeless #75
I see 1-Across everywhere I go, it seems, so here’s a puzzle!
Tough as Nails Themeless #74
This one is probably not as hard as usual. I submitted it to a mainstream pub and it was turned down, but I think it’s more than good enough to share. Hope you like it!
Tough as Nails Themeless #73
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.
