Puzzle January 9, 2026 - "Just Passing By" (themeless) - Hoang-Kim Vu, edited by Sid Sivakumar for $1 Puzzle Notes Dear Friends: AVCX+'s first puzzle of 2026 is from our very own Hoang-Kim Vu. It's a 72-word themeless titled "Just Passing By" and Kim says its difficulty is crunchy in places and smooth in places, like a Nestlé Crunch bar. Kim is the crossword editor for Defector and on the editing team at AVCX+. He also once worked in global public health before ::gestures wildly around:: everything happened. For those of you who've newly joined the AVCX family, our warmest welcome. <3 Cheers, the AVCX+ crew Solve this puzzle online!
