Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Today is Classic's (roughly) every-eight-weekly themeless, and it's a tough one (5/5 difficulty!) from AVCX's own Brooke Husic. Good luck!

Brooke, alias A. Ladee, thinks she has come a long way from early 2020, when Ben patiently walked her through constructing one of the first puzzles she ever made. Now you can find her at the USA Today, the New Yorker, her blog, and other places that show up on Daily Crossword Links. She is very fond of the puzzle attached to this email, appreciates Ben's thoughtful editing, and hopes you love it as much as she does.

Meanwhile, the third installment of These Puzzles Fund Abortion dropped today, organized by Rachel Fabi and edited by Rachel, Brooke, and Claire Rimkus. You can get sixteen amazing puzzles by amazing constructors by donating here. Please spread the word to your communities!

Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
