  • Nice time!

    4 vertical was: "Ms. White, drummer from The White Stripes" :)

  • The 5th clue was: Mr. Jennings, Jeopardy! host and former contestant with a 74-game winning streak (b. 1974)

  • Piñones - June 9, 2025 - Maid, Will you Tuck in my Little Son?

    Jump

  • I often go for a loose pun for the title, but this time I tried more of a scattershot of association with >!the merry men: Maid Marian, Will Scarlet, Friar Tuck, Little John, and Much the Miller's Son!< - hopefully not too left field!

  • Yeah it was 2 across I was curious about. I have done roman numerals in the past without much complaint, but was interested to see how this could go because strictly speaking they are numbers!

  • This happens on mobile for larger puzzles at the moment, definitely a bug that's on the docket to fix! Looks like you did find the ultimate the solution though, which is switching to desktop!

  • !I'm being incredibly literal about the phrase, and listed the letters that appear only a single time in "a lifetime"!<

  • Piñones - June 2, 2025 - I was exceedingly agitated

    Jump

  • Not yet, but hopefully soon! If you enter your email address in pinones.io, then you'll get an email notification for each new puzzle, but I don't yet have a dedicated URL for latest puzzles.

    I'm in the process of securing more development time for the puzzles, so I'm hoping by end of July/mid August we should see some improvements such as this :)

  • Piñones (hard) - May 25, 2025 - It seems the Puck stops at 5.1.441

    Jump

  • The spoiler tag markdown on the app I use doesn't seem to work for all apps, so apologies for typing this outright, but the 5.1.441 is the spot in the answer where the referenced character in the title speaks their final line - so they "stop there"!

  • 2 across is exactly what I didn't love, but was hoping that after enough letters had been solved, it might be possible to see what was going on there! I always try to ensure there is a maximum of 1 of those in any given puzzle, but the ideal number is 0 until there is the ability to opt in to those sorts of niches. However, those larger grids are significantly harder to solve on my end, and so was curious how allowing one "technically a thing" word in would be received!

  • Which part was the tricky one, the grid or the anagram?

  • Piñones - May 23, 2025 - Everything's a nail sea star

  • I think it needs workshopping a little, but pleased to see it looks like it didn't hinder solves too much!!

  • Thank you for the kind words!! Really glad to hear they're landing well :)

  • Piñones - May 19, 2025 - Where wet meets dry

    Jump

  • Solid time!!!

    !All good! As far as I know, "dry" has a definition of meaning "non-alcoholic". For example, in "Dry January", where people abstain from alcohol, and a "dry bar", which you sometimes see advertised at events to let people know that there will only be non-alcoholic drinks served. I'm not 100% on the origin, I've seen some reference prohibition in the US where towns and states were labeled "dry" if alcohol was outlawed, but I'm sure something predates it if I dug further! I wonder if this is a North Americanism as well..!<

  • Piñones (hard) - May 18, 2025 - Turn off that white noise

    Jump

  • Glad to hear you managed to get through it!

    And absolutely! It's not terribly active, but I'm slowly starting to post more and more in there so I'd be happy to have you. I'll DM a link!

  • I went with "Term for a letter or character in ancient Germanic alphabets" - hopefully that removes the suggestion of specific letters!

  • I'm not unfamiliar with this reaction 😅

    I'm open to the edit! Will adjust shortly!
