Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Tonight we're bringing you a 17x17 (!) midi from our very own Olivia Mitra Framke. It's called "Twinkle Twinkle Little Ninja Star," and we think you'll enjoy its sparkly, and just the right amount of tricky, vibes.

Olivia says: "At the start of 2024 I switched to using Ingrid for my crossword construction software, and thanks to some great features, started playing around with grid art more than ever before. This puzzle is the result of such experimentation! Each segment of the grid has one entry that's especially close to my heart: 19-Across, 25-Across, 3-Down, and 26-Down. I also like that there are just three distinct answer lengths in the grid! I hope you enjoy the quirky flow of this solve."

One more thing: The Midwest Crossword Puzzle Tournament will be held Saturday, October 5 in Chicago. The tournament features an all-Midwestern slate of constructors who have created puzzles around the theme "Hometown Pride." Spots are filling up to compete in person, so register today for this opportunity to gather with other crossword fans and solve great puzzles! There's also an online division for those who can't attend in person.

Headed to your inbox tomorrow: a guest puzzle from Patrick Berry.

Shine on, puzzle friends!

Your friends at Lil AVC X
