Puzzles that I have created

  • "The AMG 'Zine", a miniganza (puzzle set) that I wrote for my fortieth-birthday party. Answers and explanations.
  • "Parting Advice" -- A variety cryptic that I wrote for the farewell gathering for a friend who was moving out of town. (26 July 2010)
  • A short puzzle set that I wrote to celebrate the launch of Adobe's website Acrobat.com.
  • Election Headlines -- the Wall Street Journal puzzle of Oct. 31, 2008, a collaboration with Todd McClary and Craig Kasper
  • "Purim Puzzler" -- a set of short puzzles for Purim 5768 (2008). Hints are available for puzzles 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9; as are the answers. There are two errata on puzzle 7: The instructions say "the numbers indicate how many other visited blocks you can reach..." but the numbers also include the block containing the number, as in the example. (Thanks, Treesong!) Also, the fifth neighborhood does not have a unique solution, but which of the three possible solutions is intended should be clear once you compare it to the other four. (Thanks, Btnirn!)
  • "Oy, Hanukah!" -- a set of short puzzles with a tenuous connection to Hanukah created for the JCDS Oren Parents' Night. (2007/5768) And, of course, the answers
  • My first New York Times puzzle was published on Sunday, 26 August 2007, and was a collaborative effort with Craig Kasper, Jeffrey Harris, and Todd McClary. (NYT Premium Puzzles subscription required.)
