It’s time for another themed puzzle collab, this time served up “Animal Style” with the triple threat Steve Mossberg of Square Pursuit who’s equally adept at making themed, themeless, and cryptic crosswords. He’s an absolute joy to collab with, and bouncing ideas around for this theme set was especially silly and fun. Please enjoy!

And now a note from Steve: I’m thrilled to back here on the blog with a collab this time! Enrique is one of my favorite people to make puzzles with. It’s a blast knocking theme ideas around together, and I love connecting with him over nerdy fill and cluing angles. I hope this one’s as fun for everybody else as it was for us to make.
