Puzzle Notes

Hello all!

We're happy to share this lovely cryptic crossword with you from AVCX colleague and star non-cryptic crossword maker Matthew Luter. It's a nice gentle challenge packed with fun wordplay.

Here's Matthew:

Matthew Luter is a writer and teacher in Jackson, Mississippi. This is his first published full-sized cryptic. He's on the Lil AVCX editing team, and in addition to big thanks to Steve for all the valuable editing help on this puzzle, he offers a tip of the hat to his Lil pals Will Eisenberg and Jess Shulman for cryptic clue-writing pointers along the way.

We hope you enjoy the puzzle! We'll be back with more fun in two weeks.

Happy solving,
Steve + the AVCX Cryptics team
