Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Malaika Handa and Parker Higgins have a 21x21 this week, edited by Quiara Vasquez. It's called "Low Scores" and it's 4.5/5 difficulty.

This puzzle has been in the works since Malaika (puzzles, twitter) messaged Parker (twitch, twitter) in June 2021 and said "What would a puzzle look like with **** **** as the theme?" We hope you enjoy it!

Enjoy the cryptic tomorrow.

Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
