Welcome to my archive of variety cryptic crosswords that for one reason or another have never been published in a paying venue. Some have been collecting dust for years, others are brand new. I anticipate adding to the archive as the mood strikes.

​

You won't find solution grids or explanations here; most solvers don't use them and I'd rather spend the time golfing. I'm always happy to answer emailed questions about themes and clues. Feedback is also welcome.

Puzzles are tagged with the month of posting, except for the original set of 25 puzzles which were posted in January 2026.

AUGUST 2026 UPDATE NEWS: I've rediscovered 6 relatively old puzzles. 2 will be posted here about August 1. The other 4 require too much reformatting to post here but will be available by email. Drop me a line at rstigger@comcast.net if you'd like the 4 puzzles.
