If you’re looking for quality #cryptics in a well-designed, compact—dare I say “adorable”?—format, you should get your order in for the next issue of Unch.
Continuing my catch-up of AVCX #cryptics I missed last year, I've hit upon another instant favorite from @jesse.lansner.com:
Nothing separates truth and money in Iran! (9)
I had the same "that doesn't work" feeling on multiple reads until it clicked. And then I immediately loved it. Well done. 😄
Need a crypic crossword explainer. This is from the Browser's reversal mini cryptic
Lasso a cavalry's leader, returning military trainee (5)
CADET
But why?

Only a few days of sick leave remaining. Back to work on Monday so I’m getting my brain in gear with some #cryptics and #codecrackers today.
A copy of Unch magazine. The header reads: “The clued-up crossword magazine”. It’s labeled “Issue 2. January 2026”. The image is of white squares outlined in black with colored flares coming off one corner of each in cyan, yellow, and magenta.
I got my copy of Issue 2 of @unchcrosswords.com this morning. I've got a lot of puzzling ahead of me this weekend. #cryptics

Once again, I’m at the “the last 3 clues are the hardest to write” stage. Funny that. 🙂#cryptics

Since the initial launch of the MMORPG, Star Trek Online players have had to contend with the existence of the unplayable Typhoon class starship. Its presence but lack of accessibility has only fueled desire for it among players. #Cryptics #StarTrekOnline

This is why I miss the New Yorker cryptics: "Something that can be added to Pennine town (6)." I know how to parse the clue; I know what it wants; but unless I know detailed English geography or can get a strained pun out of nothing, this is meaningless. #cryptics #crosswords #thepoint,Iguess
For my last regular Tuesday Twitch (before kid #2), comfort #cryptics from:
@norahsharpe.bsky.social & @tlmberwolves.bsky.social: Browser #156
Binder: "Check This Out!"
Bob Weisz: "Top Monsters Museum"
@gppasco.bsky.social: AVCX 1/18
Terry Brennan: Mad Dog #19
@tshellstudio.bsky.social: Jan. 2024
Let's do something weird with this Tuesday's 9:00 PM EST stream and examine *six* variety #cryptics.
Will spend 30 minutes each marveling at grids from @frisco17.bsky.social, Pixlate, Paul Hunsberger, @mossdef.bsky.social, @tortoiseshell.bsky.social, and No-Feet McGee, then try to finish 'em!
