Urbanism
Here is another crossword puzzle, Urbanism.
I am aware that this puzzle does not quite follow the conventions which I have been striving for: it contains a slight asymmetry and a single two-letter word. I don't think it's much of a problem. I would like to experiment with some "non-traditional" shapes, which will probably be even less symmetrical.
Unlike my previous puzzles, this puzzle grid was constructed without any electronic aids. I like the result better because the words feel more personal. But, I was more deliberate about using the black space to keep different parts of the puzzle fairly separate. I don't know if I could make a puzzle with Harry Truman's level of openness without some computerized help.
Another puzzle will be out soon. I made two grids on my recent trip into the wilderness, but I haven't written any clues for the second one.
