Puzzle 20 - 7x7: Balance Sheet

This title is an irrelevant two-word phrase. No meaning, as far as I can tell, relating to the puzzle. I picked it at near random. Really.

The puzzle itself, though ... sort of has a topic. I noticed that a few answers skewed toward nerd stuff, so I leaned into that. Another toughish one.

Puzzle 19 - 7x7: Hard Candy

This one is relatively clean. But the clues. Oh are they difficult. I think. I hope. The title is what it is because ... well, the puzzle is hard. And the grid is the shape of candy? One of those white Life Savers mints? Yes, definitely.

P.S. I quite like the pair of short Across clues.

Puzzle 18 - 7x7: Clean Slate

I feel a need to say sorry about that last one. Two too many lousy answers.

This puzzle, another 7x7 with a single black square, represents a clean slate now. Literally, it is a clean slate of answers. Clean set. Whatever. You get it.
