Puzzle Notes

Hi all!

This week, we're excited to bring you a fun and fresh cryptic from Will Eisenberg, whose byline has popped up a lot recently - with cryptics at The Browser and Lemonade Disco and non-cryptics over at AVCX+ and Universal (many of these in collaboration with Shannon Rapp)!

Today's puzzle brings us more cryptic joy and excellence from Will, featuring a number of clues I'm jealous I didn't write myself - always a good sign!  We hope you enjoy the puzzle as much as we did.

Will is a French horn player and music teacher in the Twin Cities. He is the current 3rd horn of Orchestra Iowa and a founding member of the Minnesota Horn Quartet. More of his puzzles can be found on the blog Half-Baked Puzzles (https://halfbakedpuzzles.blogspot.com/).

Be well and stay tuned for more cryptic fun coming soon!

Nate + the AVCX Cryptics team
