Anyway, I haven't had a theme on here for a while (more than a month apparently) but this will remedy that.
(no PDFs from now on, unless anyone asks me otherwise)

Puzzle 54 - 15x15: Place Names
It's funny. When I look at old posts I've made here, I can sorta remember writing them, but don't know quite why I did them the way they are.

Puzzle 53 - 5x5
Mini puzzles of this size, 5x5 - they're probably for people just starting out. So I might have made the clues on this too vague.

Puzzle 52 - 7x7
This is a good one. The grid shape isn't hard to fill. The clues are good too. It's good. I said it's good. Have a good day.

Puzzle 51 - 8x7
As promised, here is the other super-open 7x7. I added an extra square (you'll see) that's unchecked because that made for a better word. And as before, the grid doesn't seem to be able to connect to anything else so easily, so here it is alone.

Puzzle 50 - 7x7
Hello again. This puzzle came from the kind of experiment where I just let the word list run on an area. It's reasonably clean (well, sort of), but definitely not snazzy, and I can't really attach it to a normal-size grid. So ... here it is. The idea, at least I hope, is that a big blank area is rewarding to tackle. I have another that I'll post soonish, which has funnier clues.
Oh, and there's one more puzzle like this, which you can download here to solve, that has no black squares and also a couple words that are really not so good.

Puzzle 49 - 14x16: Stacks on Stacks
So ... this might be another of the bad kinds of puzzle experiments. It's a square narrower than usual, has four triple-stacks, and - oh, right - those parts don't intersect. I could have posted each separately, but this way seemed more fun. I recommend solving in order, top to bottom; the cross references should be more usable that way. But you can look ahead, of course.
After solving, if you like, you should check out this song that's name-checked in a clue. I hadn't seen the video before, only heard it, but they're both really marvelous.

Puzzle 48 - 9x9
It's been a while. Here's another of those high-interlock larger-than-usual minis that I like so much. An odder puzzle will appear this weekend.

Puzzle 47 - 9x9
Another one. It shouldn't be so hard. 10-Across is the wackiest answer; I'm not sure why it's in my word list or what it could ever really refer to. Correspondingly the clue I made borders on nonsense. Nevertheless ...

Puzzle 46 - 9x9
Two answers here are quite obscure. I put an anagram for the harder one (which is basically necessary to solve the puzzle), but for the other I think all the crossings are fair. If not, sorry in advance.
