Believe it or not, one of my hobbies involves brainstorming for crossword puzzle creation. In other words, its my job and/or supreme joy to come up with tens or hundreds of ideas that might fit in for a crossword clue. (yes, I realize that this is pretty geeky … but its fun figuring out all of a theme’s possible clues and puns)
I’m not telling you this so you can judge me and feel better about yourself (though you’ll likely do that anyway 
), but rather to explain the pages below…
Punnery Fuel from the Department of Crossword Brainstorming
Each of the pages below is result of one of these punnishing sessions… Typically, I just come up with a long list of possibilities and then let the crossword editor figure out which ones will fit into the final product the best.
Hope you enjoy these!
