This pack contains 20 Anacrossword puzzles for the price of US$10, and is, as the title suggests, a sequel to the Anacrossword Twenty-Pack and Anacrossword Twenty-Pack Two. Anacrosswords are a recurring puzzle on this blog, inspired by a concept seen in Games magazine eons ago. Combining crosswords and acrostic puzzles, when the letters in the crossword are transferred to the correspondingly-numbered blanks, each of these puzzles yields a quote followed by its author (as opposed to the ones on this blog which yield a clue to a final answer). Each puzzle comes in a hard version (in which the solver must determine where each answer goes, as well as where spaces and punctuation belong in the quote) and an easy version (in which these things are given to the solver). Puzzles vary in size from 50 blanks in the smallest puzzle to 167 blanks in the largest puzzle.

Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy: Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy Pack #4
Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy Pack #4 is the biggest Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy pack yet! As a sequel to the three previous packs, this pack consists of Patron Puzzles #73-#100, all of which were exclusive to Patreon supporters. It also includes issues #4, #5, and #6 of Fox & Badger Magazine, my digital faux magazine which returns with a vengeance after being absent in the previous pack. Each issue contains not only a suite of puzzles with a meta at the end, but also a new Odds & Ends section with a variety of other puzzles to solve. By my count, there are over 140 puzzles altogether, and they're yours for US$10.

* Two Mini-Puzzle Fun Packs with several bite-sized grids to tackle.
* And much more!* A weirdly experimental puzzle hidden in a custom Chip's Challenge level pack.
Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy: A list of available puzzle packs
Below is a list of all of the puzzle packs available in the Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy series. To make the math simpler, this series has been reformatted so that every pack costs either US$2.50, US$5, or US$10.

Please e-mail me (glmathgrantATgmailDOTcom) a copy of the receipt for your donation to receive the puzzle pack(s) of your choice.

Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy: Anacrossword Twenty-Pack Two
This update to the Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy initiative is to announce the Anacrossword Twenty-Pack Two!
Artwork by Tintinabar
This pack contains 20 Anacrossword puzzles for the price of US$10, and is, as the title suggests, a sequel to the Anacrossword Twenty-Pack. Anacrosswords are a recurring puzzle on this blog, inspired by a concept seen in Games magazine eons ago. Combining crosswords and acrostic puzzles, when the letters in the crossword are transferred to the correspondingly-numbered blanks, each of these puzzles yields a quote followed by its author (as opposed to the ones on this blog which yield a clue to a final answer). Each puzzle comes in a hard version (in which the solver must determine where each answer goes, as well as where spaces and punctuation belong in the quote) and an easy version (in which these things are given to the solver). Puzzles vary in size from 51 blanks in the smallest puzzle to 168 blanks in the largest puzzle.

A sequel to 10x10x10 Crosswords, this contains 10 10x10 mini-crosswords for the price of US$2.50. Compared to the predecessor, 10x10x10 Crosswords II contains a heightened emphasis on offbeat puzzles; there are 2 themed puzzles, 2 themeless puzzles, 3 vwllss puzzles (where all vowels are removed from the answers before entering them; there are no Y's, and each puzzle comes with an easier version with full answer enumerations and a harder version without them), and 3 Something Different puzzles (where literally any combination of words is allowed to be an entry).

11x11x11 TOUCHWORD
Artwork by Toaster-Arts
This pack contains 11 11x11 miniature Touchword puzzles that will provide many minutes of enjoyment, for the price of US$2.50. In a crossword, words cross each other; in these puzzles, they merely touch.

(Click here for a 15x15 example.)

The vwllss comes in two difficulty levels (one with answer enumerations, and a harder one without), and with a text file providing the full answers (with vowels included).

For a charitable donation of US$5, you can buy yourself a 12-pack of Section Sixes, my miniaturized version of the venerable Patrick Berry's Section Eight.

Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy: The LiveJournal Logic Pack
Before I started "A Cleverly-Titled Logic Puzzle Blog", I had a LiveJournal blog called "*Insert Clever Title Here*". After posting 99 puzzles publicly, I decided as an experiment to offer my future puzzles on a password-protected page and sell access to it; this series would eventually grow to 300 puzzles. A ZIP file of all 300 logic puzzles can be yours for US$5. A handful of these puzzles have appeared on this blog before (mostly when debuting new puzzle types), but most are unavailable elsewhere (including the original 99 puzzles, ever since the image hosting service they were on went down or removed the images). (Note: The rules of all of the puzzles are included, but solutions are not included.)

6 Orchestra's initially considerate with a wind instrument (7)
7 Excellent supporter, at last (7)
8 Endless ceremony for poet Dove (4)

PATRON PUZZLES FOR PHILANTHROPY PREVIEW:
MINI CRYPTIC CROSSWORD PLUS
In this cryptic crossword, the answer from the wordplay half of each clue contains an extra letter. For example, if the clue were "Shy memo for North American canine (6)", the answer would be COYOTE, as clued by "North American canine"; the wordplay half clues COY+NOTE, which has an extra N. These extra letters can be anagrammed to produce this puzzle’s final 8-letter answer.1 Nannies head west for a buck (4)
6 Orchestra's initially considerate with a wind instrument (7)
7 Excellent supporter, at last (7)
8 Endless ceremony for poet Dove (4)
DOWN
2 Tennessee firearm: it's not worth much (6)
3 Ms. Knight is joyful, certainly (6)
4 Derisive person's strongbox (6)

Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy: Patron Puzzles for Philanthropy Pack #1
I have now been on Patreon for approximately 2 years, during which time I've posted 24 Patron Puzzles, which are available to people who give me $5 or more per month. Since then, one of those puzzles has been made available for free and one of those puzzles was made available to all patrons at the $1 level and up (to compensate for being late). Therefore, the total cost to access all of these puzzles, according to my calculations, is US$111. However, starting from now, I will e-mail you a ZIP file of all 24 of these puzzles for the low price of US$10. The catch? You don't pay the money to me. (If you want me to have money, you should consider supporting me on Patreon and getting access to my Wordy Wednesday puzzles earlier than anyone else. You will also gain access to future Patron Puzzles.) Instead, in a small effort to contribute something good to the world, you shall instead make your payment to my local food bank, the Food Bank of West Central Texas.
So as to ensure that I have no opportunity to misappropriate funds, please e-mail me (glmathgrantATgmailDOTcom) a copy of your charitable receipt (it must be a new donation, dated no earlier than one day before you email me), and I will send Patron Puzzles #1-24 and Fox & Badger Magazine #1 & #2 (two small puzzle suites with metas). You will also receive all solutions.
Patron Puzzles include the following:
* Several 13x13 Codewords puzzles (example).
* Several 15x15 Pathfinder puzzles (example).
* Several 21x21 Framelinks puzzles (example).
* A giant Anacrossword (example).
* A Pent Words puzzle (example) that becomes a logic puzzle.
* Several 10x10 mini-crosswords.
* A puzzle three-pack inspired by my colleague Ryan Faley.
* A variety cryptic where the answers to the wordplay halves of the clues include extra letters (example).
* And much more!
As a reminder, this is a charity initiative. Please e-mail me (glmathgrantATgmailDOTcom) a copy of your charitable receipt to my local food bank, the Food Bank of West Central Texas, to receive this puzzle pack.
