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.

Aries Freestyle March 2025

Aries Freestyle March 2025 - PUZ | PDF | PDF (Grayscale) | Solution (PDF)

Back with another Freestyle! Fair warning as it's downright devilish in difficulty. There are PUZ and PDF links above, or you can solve right here with the applet below. 

If you like extra-hard freestyles like this, be sure to check out the Aries Freestyle archive and pick up a bundle or two. Rows Garden fans - check back VERY soon as the first of what I'm calling "Six-Packs" of original RGs will be released later this week.

Happy solving!

Back with another Acrostic this month. There's a PDF as well as a JPZ file included for digital solving. To solve digitally, first download the JPZ, then head over to Crossword Nexus and upload the JPZ file. Either way you solve, hope you enjoy!

I'm making steady progress on a pack of new Rows Garden puzzles. I hope to have it available for purchase by the time the March variety puzzle will be posted, so around March 27th. Stop back then, or send me an email so you can be added to the mailing list so you'll know the moment that the pack is available.

Happy solving!
