Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Karen Lurie, an AV Classic editor herself, has this week's puzzle, called "I Would Prefer Not To" at 2.5/5 difficulty. You'll see some Karen-edited fare this fall as well.

And an exciting plug for a great upcoming xword tournament: The Midwest Crossword Tournament will take place at the University of Illinois Chicago on October 5. An all-Midwestern team of excellent constructors, editors, and organizers will present six tournament puzzles on the theme of Hometown Pride for your solving enjoyment, plus a variety of bonus games and events.

Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
