Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

We've got a lovely 72-word themeless for you today from Trent H. Evans, titled "Get Your Groove On". We think this one is moderately challenging -- when we asked Trent for his thoughts, he described the puzzle's difficulty as being "like getting my kids to Venmo their car insurance on time."

Trent is a clinical psychologist in Catonsville, MD. You can find out more about his practice at trentevans.com (he does telehealth to most states) or visit his indie puzzle site at gridtherapy.com. You can also check out his daily Puzzle Society word game, Thematik.

And, an exciting bit of news from the Crossworld to share: Voting is now open until March 1 for the 12th ORCA Awards -- the annual celebration of creativity in crosswords! Winners will be announced on March 6 during a livestream filled with games and prizes. Five long-time solvers will receive special awards. For each day of their streak, solvers can receive a chance to win crossword memorabilia inscribed to them and signed by Will Shortz. Need not be present to win. Details and voting info can be found at Diary of a Crossword Fiend.

Cheers,

the AVCX+ crew
