Puzzle Notes
Dear friends,
Derek Hinsey's "Changing Styles" is 3/5 difficulty, and has a wonderful -- one might say --
classic Classic feel. Definitely take some time away from fretting about election results to enjoy it.
Derek is an electrical engineer living in Cleveland. He's been making crosswords since 2024, sometimes by himself and sometimes with his uncle Mark. Check out
hinseypuzzles.com for more of his work.
Aaaaaand we promised a big announcement, and here it is! On the afternoon of Sunday, January 10, AVCX will host it's first-ever crossword puzzle tournament, called
the AVC X Games. The event will be online, and all the wings of AVCX will be involved (though it'll be all crosswords). We'll have top constructors and editors, as well as special guests both involved with the puzzles and dropping in on the livestream. The tournament page is
here, and we'll update it regularly, including (soon!) with information about how to register.
Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
