Hi friends:

Thanks to all those who have recently resubscribed for another year or more of AVCX puzzles -- all of us here are genuinely grateful! Not everyone is up for renewal this month; you can log in with your username and password to check. And you'll always get an email heads-up when your renewal period is close to ending.

Meanwhile, send an AVCX subscription as a holiday gift to your favorite solver by clicking here, and enjoy special discounts through the end of the month. You can even schedule a gift subscription to begin on a specific date!

Finally, if you're so inclined, you can tip the AVCX here. General tips are divided among constructors, but if you want to tip one person in particular just tell us that in the note and they'll get the whole thing, minus PayPal fees.

See ya,

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