I’m only mad because I’d be pilloried for an answer like this. I’d never hear the end of it if I included baby’s first words in a crossword, but the baby geniuses at the New York Times can write some shit like “pee pee” and be considered a LEGITIMATE INSTITUTION of PUZZLEMAKING

I have been (literally) dusting off a bunch of my old map sculptures in my house, and figured I'd share some pics this week of what I was creating before I fell into the inescapable vortex of puzzlemaking 20 years ago. This is "The Grand Tetons", 2004, hand-cut on bandsaw & scrollsaw, painted MDF.

MARTLET KNIGHT PUZZLEMAKING OPEN TOURNAMENT (Lower Snowdin)
Martlet is shown to be, as the game states, scatterbrained. She is forgetful, rambly, and often falls asleep at her station. She seems to struggle with concentrating on her duties and often relies on her manual for guidance. She has a passion for puzzlemaking and carpentry.

With a game like Collections where variations of the answer are legitimate it's difficult to get the balance right of ensuring the answer matches the category. Some categories are pretty clear, others have several acceptable answers that all mean the same.

@anamariecox I noted your mention of puzzles in the latest Past Due as part of your mental health recovery. Puzzlemaking is a creative pursuit I don’t think the show has covered, but it’s high visibility, usually freelance work that’s no way to pay a mortgage. Lmk if you need a hook-up.
