  • Easier Version (Mobile-Friendly)
  • Regular Version

We added a new feature to the Crossword Nexus Solver, so to celebrate, we’re running a Patchwork puzzle. This is a puzzle type invented by Eric Berlin, and constructed with the help of Twitch chat! Thanks to everyone who participated in helping make this puzzle, and thanks to Joon for test-solving it.

What is this puzzle type?

Each row in a Patchwork puzzle has two answers, to be entered in the grid in order. Answers will also be entered in the irregularly shaped patchwork pieces marked by heavy lines in the grid, always left to right, row by row within each piece.

In the regular version, clues for the patches are given in alphabetical order by answer, so you’ll have to figure out where they go. Try that one out if you want an extra challenge and you’re not solving on a mobile device!

If you like this puzzle type, keep an eye on Eric’s site, as there may be some coming soon …

Enjoy the solve!
