new puzzle! horsing around

There's a new crossword up at World of Crosswords. The theme is horsing around.

This latest puzzle was created early in the history of our site. At the time, I wasn't aware of certain rules governing standard crosswords. In particular, I'm talking about rule six, "Long theme entries must be symmetrically placed." There's a theme entry in today's crossword that has no matching symmetrically placed entry. The puzzle actually has five theme entries; I suppose you could consider the fifth asymmetrical entry a bonus theme entry! Personally, I don't feel strongly about this rule, so it doesn't bother me. I hope you'll enjoy the crossword, even in cases like this where we break these rules!

The weekly puzzle is up at World of Crosswords. The theme is "can't see the forest for the trees (arbor day anagrams)" (permalink). The theme entries are a little trickier than usual; I hope you enjoy figuring them out.

This year, Arbor Day is April 27, this coming Friday. After you work the crossword puzzle, you may want to celebrate Arbor Day by going out and planting a tree!
