Black Crossword: 100 MIDI Puzzles Connecting the African Diaspora
by Juliana Pache

The founder of popular BlackCrossword.com and author of the groundbreaking Black Crossword returns with a second fabulous collection, featuring 100 diverse-sized puzzles once again inspired by the African diaspora.

Frustrated by the dearth of Black people creating puzzles or appearing as clues, entrepreneur Juliana Pache launched blackcrossword.com at the beginning of 2023. The site instantly took off, growing a massive following that includes fans such as Academy Award-winner Questlove, popular social activist Brittany Packnett Cunningham, and author and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib.

This second collection offers underserved crossword aficionados even more challenges and choice, featuring different grid sizes from 6 x 6 to 9 x 9—allowing you to pick the challenge level you want. Highlighting terms and clues from across the diaspora—topics include prominent cultural figures and movements, artistic achievements, history, and Black vernacular from around the globe—Black Crossword: 100 Midi Puzzles Connecting The African Diaspora covers popular culture, the arts, literature, and more, and follows the form of the original Black Crossword, but with more letters and more room to highlight the Diaspora's rich history.
