Puzzle Notes
Dear friends:Tonight's puzzle from May Huang is called "Worry, Darling." It's 11x11 and we think it'll play on the easier side. One of our test solvers says this puzzle's vibe is "Panic! At the Crossword."
May says: "This puzzle was a result of me having 'constructor's block' while gobbling up every morsel of the drama surrounding 'Don't Worry Darling' and realizing that I might as well channel my love for gossip into a crossword theme. If you, like me, are fascinated by the controversy, please reach out to me -- I will happily chat about it! And if you don't understand the significance of Florence [redacted] showing up to the Venice Film Festival holding an Aperol spritz, or if you weren't aware that [redacted] Styles and Chris Pine were embroiled in 'spitgate,' I am happy for you. May the chaotic corners of the internet never find you. I hope you enjoy this puzzle nonetheless. 🙂 "
Next week we're off! Stay beautiful.
Brooke, Chris, Enrique & the expanded AVCX crew
