Share the Grid!

I am so thankful for all of you wonderful people in the puzzleverse. Although it’s been a while since I posted, I wanted to make sure I expressed my appreciation this holiday with a puzzle to solve while you’re taking a break from feasting. Be sure to check out my new daily puzzle Thematik over at the Puzzle Society if you haven’t already. And a big thanks to Mike Knobler and Matt Gritzmacher for test solving this one. I wish everyone the best Thanksgiving and you will see me back here soon. Ish. 😊

I'm a husband, father, psychologist, musician, and crossword constructor living in Catonsville, MD. My puzzles have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and its syndicates, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Andrews McMeel Universal Syndicate, the American Values Club Crossword, Spyscape Crossword, The Crosswords Club, and crossword apps such as the Redstone Crossword Puzzle App on iOS and Google Play. All of that means I've been published in every newspaper in the United States and many others around the world. Here at Grid Therapy, I can show a bit more of myself than the major publishers can allow. I hope you enjoy your time here on the crossword couch! I'd love to hear from you if you have comments or suggestions. If you're interested in having a custom crossword puzzle created for your event or organization, email me at drtrent (at) gmail.com.

I found this pretty tough, I must say. I had no idea what “.lv” was, although RIGA seemed to fit after I had R-I; oh–Latvia! Didn’t know ART TEST, FENG, AGENORM, or ALIG (OMG! Da Ali G Show!) The “manual type” clue held me up for a while, just as you intended, I’m sure! For 19D, MATT GAETZ fit, but it didn’t work with the crosses. And MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE didn’t fit at all. Your answer was hilarious, however! I made it through eventually without looking anything up, so I feel pretty good–and I appreciate the break from Thanksgiving preparations.

Happy Turkey Day to you, your perpetually annoying children, and the rest of your family, Trent.
