WHERE TO FIND MY PUZZLES
Right now, there are four places where you can find my puzzles on a regular basis; details about those are below. I'm also listing where you can find my one-time puzzles that appear in various newspapers, magazines, or other media. (I won't list the puzzles that aren't publicly available, such as those for private individuals or certain corporate assignments.) This list will be updated regularly, but those updates won't always be mentioned on the homepage.
PuzzleSocial: this Facebook app is loaded with crosswords by most of America's top puzzlemakers. I have 25 crosswords scheduled to appear over the next year. TV Guide: the weekly sudoku puzzle. Instead of numbers, the puzzle uses letters; solvers can find a long TV-related entry somewhere in the filled diagram. (My occasional crosswords for the magazine will be listed below when they're published.) Washington Post: a regular 15x15 themeless crossword edited by Peter Gordon; I'm part of a six-person Sunday rotation that also includes Patrick Berry, Frank Longo, Doug Peterson, Mike Shenk, and Karen Tracey. Yahoo! Daily Games: five 13x13 crosswords per week (Monday through Friday) for the "Daily Crossword with Hints" feature. These puzzles focus on current pop culture and other modern references. Weekend contributors include Patrick Berry and Matt Jones.
