It’s been a while since we’ve run one of these — it’s a “Two Outta Three Ain’t Bad” puzzle! This is a puzzle type invented by our friend Joon, and one we really like. Remind me how this works?

Each answer in this puzzle is a lowercase dictionary word. Clues come in three types: anagrams, rhymes, and synonyms of the answer word. However, for each answer, only two of the three types of clues are given. It is up to you to determine which clue is which type. Clues are given in alphabetical order.

Because clues are decoupled from entries in this puzzle type, Squares.io or PDF are your only solving options. We highly recommend typing the answers in the clues sidebar as you solve, and then entering them in the grid once you are relatively certain where they go.

Great news everybody! There’s a new suite of meta crosswords available and we’ve teamed up with them to bring you even more puzzles! Starting today, if you donate to my charity fundraiser and forward the receipt to crosswordsforcancer@gmail.com, you’ll not only get the puzzles from my pack, but also the 16 meta-crosswords from that set. That’s a total of 23 puzzles for you, and all you need to do is help fund children’s cancer research. What are you waiting for? Get in on this today!

In other news, our seventh Patreon acrostic was sent out a few days back. If you want in on this (and you should) make sure you join today! Only $1.50 a month (or more if you’re so inclined).

Enjoy the solve!
