Puzzle 104 - 9x11

A phrase I noticed in this New York Times article. Google shows there's also a synonym that's slightly commoner.

Puzzle 103 - 12x12: Like This?

This one also had more constraints than I expected. Leading to a couple odd words, and a long one that's a bit of a waste. Doesn't matter though, the grid's smallish.

Puzzle 102 - 4x3

Recently I realized that I can put whatever I want in a puzzle. Like, anything, as long as it's generally solvable.

So I was looking around recently. The Wikipedia article for YouTube Rewind was a good jumping-off place. And I came across the name of a channel I used to watch in elementary school ... Here it is.

Puzzle 101 - 8x9

Similar in size to the last one. Turned out to be oddly constraining, so most words are common crossword fodder.

Puzzle 99 - 5x5

Could be a little hard because I clued the stacked phrase all together, unlike in yesterday's. Though it should be tractable enough.

Puzzle 95 - 9x9: Tragedies

They happened to be nine letters.

A small note on one entry, the unusual four-letter partial. It's there on purpose. Not the "cleanest" but, with the clue, seems better than other ways to fill that corner, especially to avoid crossing more names.

Puzzle 93 - 15x15 themeless

Another one. It had to be clued easier than the last because so many proper nouns. And it has a couple not great small answers but they hold together good things.

Puzzle 92 - 15x15 themeless

First puzzle of a new year. Believe it or not 7-Down is my favorite thing here, the clue/answer pair I've sat on longest. Also my streak of iffy crosses continues, though I'll repeat Google et al. are fair to consult.

Apologies for omitting C.J. Cregg.
