Puzzles That Need A Home: Russia’s Greatest Love Machine (1/10) Brian Thomas is back with a puzzle worth the wait, including the best clue I’ve seen in months.

Tough As Nails: Tough as Nails Themeless #104 (1/10). A tricky take on the deceptively simple variety format that presents a fun challenge for solvers of all difficulty levels. Universal: Cha-Ching! by Sarah Butkovic (1/9) A tricky theme with a great revealer – don’t prejudge it based on the unorthodox grid! – Matt Trent Evans pulls together a bright, in-the-language theme set to mark the end of the college football season.
