Themeless: So Random (Summer Puzzle 14)
For this week's penultimate summer puzzle, I was inspired by a Will Nediger blog puzzle where he randomly placed 5 black squares and 5 letters in the grid. Like Will, I randomized 10 squares this way (including rolling physical dice for the positions--though I used an online tool for picking the letters). Unlike Will, I did not get particularly unusual placement for my black squares (and also did not keep super close track of where they were), so this is a pretty standard 72-word themeless grid. The letters were a little more constraining, though--notably both the first and last letters of 18-across were randomized, which let me put a pretty fun short entry in that spot!
Anyways, not too much more to say about this one, but I'll be back next week for the final summer puzzle before my semester starts! I already have an idea for the puzzle, so if my gridding pays off, I'll see you all then!
