9/22/2021 - NEW SUBDIVISION
Subdivide this region along the grid lines into non-overlapping squares and rectangles. Each rectangle or square must contain exactly one number that indicates how many small cells make up its area.
Correct!
Enjoyed this one
I’m posting it just because I’d done it first with lame looking rough lines. But then I saw Bro’s nice looking fill and wanted to see if fill worked easily in Paint with the saved picture. So, yeah, it is easy, but I still felt obliged to post after I spent the extra minute to make it look better.

Nice! I took a lot of inspiration from Simon on the Cracking the Cryptic channel on YouTube.

In this numberless crossword, the clues for the Across and Down words have been intermingled into a single clue list. However, within that list, the Across clues appear in order from top to bottom, and the Down clues appear in order from left to right. Can you complete the grid?
- siestas
- ____ buddy
- plagues
- car gear
- straddling
- left in the dust
- skunk feature
- hockey game divisions
- black-and-orange bird
- milk and sugar, say
- more irate
- villain’s look
- minus
No. I don’t care to either. Does that get me credit? It is technically correct.
