Puzzle Notes
Dear friends,
As foreshadowed/more-or-less said directly yesterday, we bring you a bonus puzzle this particular eve! And it's a contest! And it's by Francis Heaney, one of the best to ever do it. It's 4/5 difficulty, and called "Only '90s Kids Will Understand." Here's your meta contest flavor text:
In addition to the six symmetrically placed Across theme entries, there are six Down theme entries to locate. Circle the first letters of their clues and read them in order to prove your understanding.
Send the meta solution to 90skids@avxwords.com before the end of 2025 to be entered in a drawing for a sweet prize!
You'll hear from us at Classic once more, on New Year's Eve. Til then, don't forget that
AVCX gift subscriptions make a great last-minute holiday present, should you need such.
Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
