Puzzle Notes
Dear friends:
Tonight's puzzle is an 11x11 by Kelsey Dixon called "Great Gowns, Beautiful Gowns" and we think you should enjoy it with popcorn and self-care.
Kelsey is a lover, not a fighter, and also a Chicagoan and devoted plant-mother to a desk cactus named Bruce. She has had bylines in newspapers, crossword outlets, and tournaments including Boswords and The Atlantic. She also blogs indie puzzles as Crosstina, a word she frequently mistakes for "croissant".
Kelsey says: "just when you thought the coast was clear, post Super Bowl, here i am with this coincidentally sports-heavy puzzle! i hope this puzzle finds you out with friends or on a hot date -- i will be spending the holiday working on my 'jacksonville jaguars juper bowl jampions 2024' campaign! xoxo"
Headed to your inbox next week: the first two midis from our 2023 roster.
Always and forever,
Your friends at Lil AVC X
