Crosswords
The first crossword puzzles I remember solving came from CrossworDS. On long car rides I would ask my parents the politics and dated pop culture clues no six-year-old knows. Fifteen years later, during my first year at Kenyon, I jokingly said to my friend—who was the crossword editor of the Kenyon Collegian at the time—that his last puzzle of the year should be a “cool S”. He helped bring such a grid to life and gave me his job for the following year.
Being the crossword editor of the Collegian helped me realize my passion for crosswords. From passing peers working on my puzzles in Peirce, to getting positive messages from alumni when they visited campus, made me incredibly grateful to have a creative outlet, making both memories and momentary frustration within my community.
The puzzles I created for the Collegian can be found here

But sometimes, I have ideas for crosswords that can only reasonably be published on my own website, for one reason or another. For those, look no further!
