Well, here we are at the last puzzle of 2025 and the last weekly puzzle Barb will be doing for subscribers. I understand she will still be doing puzzles for a publication so keep your eyes out for that. I hope she will be able to share one or two of her puzzles with...

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and happy holidays to all! I was celebrating with family out of town the last couple of days so am a little late getting to the puzzle. So I'll make this quick - let's go. Name: Christmas Team Members Grid size: 17x17 Entries:...

We've had snow on the ground here for nearly a week - haven't seen that in probably 5 years. Maybe a white Christmas is in the cards? At the moment, the weather service doesn't think so, but we'll see... In any event, I'm not ready for the holidays so will be...
