      Horrified to learn that I left out a clue! (Thanx to @Teedmn for the test solve heads-up). New version of "Do Yer Own Black Squares #2":

      "Do Yer Own Black Squares #2" - 7x7 15 min. themed revised:

      **gruntz**

      M&A

      p.s. I probably won't do many more of this particular kind of runt … it's too hard even for the constructioneer!

    Still been spendin most of my semi-precious time on 15x15 themeless puzgrids, lately. Here is another bit of the evidence.

    "Crossword Too Desperate #2" - 15x15 30 min. themeless:

    **gruntz**

    M&A

    p.s.
    I also did one 15x15 themed puz … so not entirely lost to the dark side. Yet.

      @BobK. - Thanx for the kind words. Yer comments zeroed right in on M&A's desperate area of concern, in this puppy.
      Once the NYTPuz editor comes around to allowin a double-?-mark clue or two per puz, M&A will rule the Friday and Saturday themeless universe. [Or not.]

    Hi, I'm on vacation again, been gone for a few days, so might not stop by much for the next week. But I will get caught up again after I return home.

    Thank for the fun runt!

    It's a damp evening, so got caught up on runtz. Did the 15x15 with across lite, tho so no solve saved.

    I'm wondering, how we could recognize an M&A grid in the NYT if there is no desperation?

      I just noticed that the puz itself has "#2" in its title, instead of "#3". But the puz is the #3 one, so I'll just leave everything be.
