Grid Therapy returns after an 8-month hiatus. And for a very personal reason. My wife has cancer. After her surgery earlier this week, I decided to use art to express what’s on my mind and in my heart. Which is this: FUCK CANCER! We’re both a little subversive and...

I enjoyed getting to see so many of you at ACPT! A few were kind enough to come up to say they enjoy Grid Therapy. Which is an ego boost like you can’t imagine. However, I also immediately felt like a piece of crap because I haven’t posted since...

Happy Valentine’s Day! Feast your eyes on these two lovebirds who are here to help you celebrate. I’m getting excited for ACPT April 5-7 and I hope to see as many of you there as possible. Also keep an eye out for my USA Today debut on February 25th....

Happy New Year friends! I’d like to thank Quiara Vasquez for the test solve on this one. Defector has a fairly new crossword feature and I was thrilled to debut there yesterday. You’ll be seeing me in USA Today and Universal over the next month or so, but for...

Hurdy gurdy! Bork, bork, bork! Crossverd puzzle freshy outta de ooven! Derp derp! Solve it, yah? Thanks Swedish Chef! I was really having a hard time thinking what to say about this one. If you want more Trent puzzly goodness, be sure to check out my daily game at...

Yet another child is leaving the nest as we speak. Me and my back are blissfully here writing to you in the basement while the sounds of strong young people hefting things thud on the ceiling above me. I’ll have to make this relatively short so I can return...

I’m still here. I know it’s been a very long time, but I’m not abandoning this little project. Lots of good things and lots of not-so-good things have conspired to rob me of time to work on Grid Therapy puzzles. Puzzles are going to come in less frequently, but...

It was such a pleasure to meet so many incredible people at ACPT this weekend. I feel so lucky to have found this community. Grid Therapy is a place for me to refine my skills but also to give a tiny bit of something back for free to a...
