Puzzle Notes
Dear cryptic lovers,
We've got a transatlantic treat for you today: a puzzle from superstar British setter (no, not a dog or a volleyball player; that's what they call constructors over there) Ali Gascoigne. Besides his UK-style puzzles in venues like the
Guardian, Ali has published both cryptics and vanilla puzzles here in 'Murica in the
New York Times and the
Wall Street Journal.
Says Ali: 'Hi from London. It's always a pleasure to have a cryptic published across the pond. Many thanks to Stella and the team for having me and for keeping me in check.
I hope you enjoy the puzzle. If you want to say hi and/or know when any of my other crosswords are published, you can find me on Twitter
here.'
Ever notice how every British actor can nail a perfect American accent? We think you'll find the same is true of Ali. Enjoy!
Be well,
The AVCX Cryptic team
