“It was a great puzzle full of our weird little inside jokes and it made me actually laugh out loud a few times. My boyfriend also told me it was one of the best gifts he’d ever gotten, so thank you for letting me look amazing even though you did all the work. It was fun to solve and even a little challenging at points — some of my own answers surprised me!”

“When my brother passed away, I was searching for something fun and unique I could do for our family to remember him. Because he loved crosswords, getting a custom crossword created made a lot of sense. On top of that, Rachel does such a great job of integrating specific trivia and hints into the puzzle, that it was a huge hit. Everybody loved it.”
