Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

We're kicking off the month of May for the AVCX expansion today with a 10x11 midi from May Huang called "Crossword.puz" that we expect to play at a 2.5/5 difficulty.

A word from May: "I'm really pleased with how this puzzle turned out, and want to thank the editors for helping me tighten the theme along the way! Like a couple other puzzles I've worked on recently, my inspiration for this theme came from simply *spending too much time staring at my screen*... I also publish puzzles over at crossworthy.net and (sometimes) tweet about crosswords here. Finally, while I have your attention -- please consider donating to These Puzzles Fund Abortion Too to support abortion funds across the country!"

Headed to your inbox tomorrow night: a delightfully tough midi from Kunal Nabar.

Thanks for your support!

Brooke, Chris, Enrique & the expanded AVCX crew
