Lollapuzzoola 19
Lollapuzzoola took place on Saturday, August 15, 2026 (that was a Saturday in August). For this years scores, check these links: EXPRESS | LOCAL | PAIRS
If you’re here because you want to purchase the puzzles for yourself, please visit our Lollapuzzoola store — the 2026 puzzle set is still available, as well as back copies of the past several years.
Our congratulations go out to all the winners this year: Glen Ryan (Express Division), Zachary Obsniuk (Local Division), and Patrick Aquino and Christopher Adams (Pairs Division).
Thanks to our constructors: Trenton Charlson, Carina da Rosa, Will Nediger, Ada Nicolle, Adam Wagner, and Amie Walker! Our tiebreaker puzzle is by Laura Braunstein, the crossword meta suite is by Doug Peterson, and the variety puzzle meta suite is by Scott Weiss. And the entire catalog of puzzles has been edited by Brooke Husic. Read more about all of these brilliant folks here.

Fill Me In
Fill Me In is a weekly podcast (mostly) (somewhat) about crosswords. It’s hosted by Brian Cimmet and Ryan Hecht. You can listen to it on this site, though sometimes the page freezes up. You can also listen to it on Apple Podcasts, or other places you find podcasts. If you want to reach out to the Fill Me In folks, email them at fmi@bemoresmarter.com.
Shirts? Shirts!
For the die-hard fans (of either Lollapuzzoola or Fill Me In), we are happy to present our first foray into online apparel orders — t-shirts! This is a new venture for us, so if you encounter any issues ordering, please drop us a note (both lolla@bemoresmarter.com and fmi@bemoresmarter.com will reach us).
