Twenty Six

Hey! Long time, no crossword! Today’s offering is a collaboration between our friend Norah Sharpe and one half of Crossweird, Momes, as part of Norah’s month of many puzzles!

Momes says: “Thank you to Norah, ultimate crossword collab instigator and all-around puzzle babe, for making this puzzle with a noob like me. I especially appreciate her showing me the ropes (and doing most of the heavy lifting) while juggling her huge NaCroWriMo project (go do these puzzles!). Norah is, as I’ve said before, truly an ASSet to the puzzle community. *heart*”

From Norah: “I’m so glad to work with Momes on her first crossword puzzle! When she asked me if I had NaCroWriMo slots left, I was completely delighted to say YES. In just a few short days, she got a crash course in crossfire, came up with this banging hot theme, worked with me on this grid and fill, and wrote some fantastic clues. Look out – because this is just the beginning.”

Thanks to Norah (who’s now on her fourth puzzle and counting on our site!) and Momes for housing this baby here and we hope you enjoy solving it!
