Puzzle Notes

Hi friends: 

Francis Heaney starts off the fourth and assuredly most thrilling quarter of the year for the AVCX with a puzzle called "The Hugger Games," at 3/5 in difficulty.

The puzzle has this instruction: "The Hugger Games are a lot like the Hunger Games, except much, much, much nicer. Instead of killing each other, the twelve tributes hug each other. Sometimes they even hug a tribute who's hugging another tribute. Group hug! Everybody wins!"

Francis also has a new and much acclaimed meta puzzle over at Matt Gaffney's site. It's free; check it out!

Yrs,

Ben and the AVCX crew [avxwords.com, @AVCXWord]
