Puzzle Notes

One thing we're proud to do here at AVCX is help mentor new cryptic constructors -- but another thing we love is to have people who are already frickin' great at writing cryptics come do what they do. This week is an example of that second thing, with a very fun, highly distinctive (and also rather tricky) puzzle from Will Nediger. Will is a crossword constructor from London, Ontario, who publishes indie puzzles under the name Bewilderingly (an anagram of "by Will Nediger").

Enjoy the puzzle, and we'll see you back here in two weeks! (Unless you will also be at ACPT, where you will perhaps see some of us sooner.)

Cheers --

-- Francis (and the AVCX Cryptic crew)
