Briefly

Pache aimed to create crosswords celebrating Black culture and history, focusing on increasing representation in puzzles long dominated by mainstream references and norms.
"If you know, you know" defines the site’s essence; Pache envisions a crossword filled with elements familiar specifically to the Black community and its diverse heritage.
"Each puzzle includes clues tied to Black culture, with an emphasis on creating shared experiences through recognized terms and insights that resonate with Black players."
