UPCOMING PUZZLE EXTRAVAGANZA CONTEST! I am planning a collection of puzzles to come out in the first half of 2012. It will consist of 12 puzzles plus a "metapuzzle" tying the other puzzles' answers together to create a final question for the solver. Solvers who submit the correct answer to that question before the deadline will be entered into a random drawing for the grand prize. If this contest sounds like fun to you, please go to this page and sign up! You can read about the contest in more detail there, as well as see what you would receive at the various funding levels; all of the options are purchasable via PayPal. This page will remain open until shortly before the contest begins, probably in June. Thanks in advance for your support; I think it's going to be a lot of fun. |

Welcome to Triple Play Puzzles! Feel free to email me with any comments you might have about the puzzles, site contents, or anything else. — Trip |
"Middle Management", a variety word puzzle originally presented as the handout "Middle Management: The Best of the Rest" at the 2005 National Puzzlers' League convention, has been added; download the PDF. Thanks to Todd McClary for his help with the page design. The extravaganza is progressing nicely but due to work obligations will likely be pushed back until June.
"Just Passing Through", a variety cryptic originally published in the November 1994 issue of "Tough Cryptics", has been added; download the PDF. I apologize for the many skipped months and reprinted puzzles recently; much of the time I would be spending making original puzzles for the site is being spent on creating my extravaganza. January 31, 2012 My upcoming puzzle extravaganza contest now has its own page on this website where you can read about it and purchase it via PayPal. December 26, 2011 "Something Different #4", a 21x21 variety crossword originally published in the June 1992 issue of "Tough Puzzles", has been added; download the PDF or the AcrossLite file, and get an explanation of the type here. November 30, 2011 A new 19x19 themed crossword, "Not in the Write Frame of Mind", has been added. Download the AcrossLite file or the PDF. |
