Aries Six Pack #2

Aries Six Pack #2 is now available! 

The debut Six Pack released in March was well-received by solvers, so let's keep the momentum going!

Six Pack #2 includes six never-before-published Rows Gardens in PDF form in the difficulty level of your choice, a set of solutions, and RGZ files for digital solving. The PDF layout is exactly the same as it has been since 2019, so long-time solvers will be very familiar with how these puzzles look as well as how they solve. In order to maintain continuity with the overall Aries Rows Garden series, the puzzles in this pack are officially classified as Year 12, Puzzles 7 through 12.

Order Six Pack #2 for just $5 using the Paypal applet below. Anyone who has purchased Aries Puzzles offerings through Venmo or Zelle are welcome to do the same for Six Pack #2. If you'd like to discuss alternative payment options, just send me an email. 

Please note: All orders are fulfilled manually. While the vast majority of purchases are fulfilled in under an hour, please allow up to 8 hours to receive an email with the puzzles that you purchased. Your patience is appreciated!

Twists & Turns #12

Aries Twists & Turns #12 - Harder (PDF) | Standard (PDF) | Standard (JPZ) | Solution (PDF) 

Back with another Twists & Turns! As is usual, there are two difficulty levels offered in the PDF version; the digital version can only be offered in the Standard version. To solve digitally, first download the JPZ file above, then head over to Crossword Nexus and upload the JPZ file. Either way you solve, hope you enjoy!

Busy at work at the second Rows Garden Six Pack of the year - check back next month for its official release! Six Pack #1 was released in March to good solver response, so scoop that up if you haven't already. If you're itching for more Twists & Turns, be sure to pick up the Twists & Turns Puzzle Pack from a few years ago!

Section Eight #3

Section Eight #3 - Harder (PDF) | Easier (PDF) | Harder (JPZ) | Easier (JPZ) | Solution (PDF)

Back this month with another Section Eight puzzle! There are Harder and Easier difficulty options in both PDF format for paper solving and JPZ format for digital solving. To solve on your computer, first download your preferred JPZ file above, and then head over to Crossword Nexus and open the JPZ file to solve on their interface. Either way you solve, hope you enjoy!

Continuing acknowledgment to Patrick Berry for inventing this ingenious format. Patrick writes precisely one Section Eight a year these days, and this year's rendition was recently published in the Wall Street Journal, so get to work on that if you're as much of fan of these puzzles as I am. 

And if that doesn't scratch the itch, be sure to pick up last year's S8: A Section Eight Puzzle Pack, which features 10 original Section Eights by yours truly. Also, the inaugural Rows Garden Six Pack, released last month, is still available and solver feedback so far is positive. Be sure to snap up Six Pack #1 if you haven't already, and work on the second Six Pack is already underway.

Happy solving!

Aries Six Pack #1

Aries Rows Garden is back! I'm proud to debut the first Aries Six Pack

Each pack includes the six puzzles in PDF form in the difficulty level of your choice, a set of solutions, and RGZ files for digital solving. The PDF layout is exactly the same as it has been since 2019, so long-time solvers will be very familiar with how these puzzles look as well as how they solve. I'm keeping continuity with the overall Aries Rows Garden series, so the puzzles in this pack are officially classified as Year 12, Puzzles 1 through 6.

I hope this is just the first of many of these Six Packs, which are planned to be released on a roughly quarterly schedule, assuming that there's a good response from solvers. So be sure to spread the word to other puzzle lovers!

Order Six Pack #1 for just $5 using the Paypal applet below. Aries Rows Garden subscribers who have paid through Venmo or Zelle are welcome to do the same for Six Pack #1. If you'd like to discuss alternative payment options, just send me an email.
