PUZZLE 17 - JOIN THE NAVY


Solving Music: Ronald Jenkees - Rhodes Deep


I meant to post this one like a week ago, but kept putting it off. Real sorry about that. You'll probably be getting another puzzle in the next couple days; I've got a themeless I'm really happy about in the works, and I now have CrossFire at my disposal to help me finish it. Crossword Compiler has done some real good for me, but after seeing so many cool features in CrossFire that CC doesn't have, I finally bit the bullet and bought it. I'll be spending the next month or so weighing the pros and cons and seeing what appeals to me more.

This was a fun puzzle to grid; the theme came after the revealer came up in a conversation, and after finding a crown jewel themer *and* having it mirror the revealer, it was a dream come true. I hope y'all enjoy it as well. Stay safe.

  1. Sad to say that your "crown jewel" is going to be a pretty frustrating sticking point for many. A very niche reference (at least for Americans) with an unguessable name, and a much more obscure theme answer. Otherwise very enjoyable, but that answer really doesn't fit in this puzzle, imo.

  2. Thanks for these puzzles. But I fail to see a "contact me" button (should one want to comment privately). Am I missing something?
