Ada Nicolle created a crossword blog several years ago called Luckystreak Xwords, as well as a Patreon, both of which feature themeless puzzles focusing primarily on modern trends and Gen Z culture. She writes, “I like to represent people that don’t often get the spotlight in mainstream crossword puzzles, and I figure crosswords are more fun when they feel like they were written by a person living in the present moment.” This collection will consist of 72 crosswords imbued with Ada’s singular personality and humor, compiled from the best of her blog, plus 30 brand-new puzzles written especially for this book.
