So in my puzzle-making enthusiasm I accidentally remade an Illuminae puzzle. My bad. I decided to post it anyway! But here is a link to my first attempt! You can let me know if I have improved any. I at least think the color scheme is more pleasant on this round, though maybe less tailored to the book.
Next puzzle up should be Aurora Rising! I am working on the clue sheet at the moment. It seems that doing this while Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff are running an Aurora Rising read-along is fitting. Hopefully, I’ll have it up soon!
I have loved my lack of a scanner with my phone, so I really hope the quality is alright. Not sure how happy I am with the scanning app I used. Hopefully, this version is alright!
Here is a link to the request form or a place to sign up for emails about new puzzles.
And here is the link to the answers from last week’s Red, White, and Royal Blue Crossword Puzzle.
The next puzzle ended up not being Aurora Rising, it is a Gryffindor puzzle and it is here! It has the answers to this puzzle linked within.
