Hi there!

Thanks for checking out my work.

I’m Matthew Stock (he/him). I'm a crossword constructor from Dallas, Texas. When I’m not working on puzzles, I’m likely spending time outside (gardening, birding, playing ultimate frisbee), cooking, playing board games and enjoying time with my family.

I first started solving crosswords in 2017 as a junior in college. A year later, I attended my first puzzle-solving tournament, where some very kind and talented folks inspired me to try constructing myself. It's completely captured my imagination since then.

Nowadays, most of the puzzles that I make appear in various print and online venues — you can find a complete list of my published work here. I also make custom puzzles for weddings, birthdays, businesses, or anything else folks have in mind. If you're interested in custom work, click here!

Happy puzzling!

-Matthew
