Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today marks the first puzzle of what we at Lil AVC X are calling Editor October! Throughout this lovely autumn month, we will be bringing you nine fantastic midis all constructed in-house by our editors. To start us off, we're bringing you a tricky 11x11 by Shannon Rapp titled "Any Questions?"

Shannon says: "Hi solvers! Today's puzzle is the result of a little experimentation on the what-ifs of crossword making. What if I let my own silly misreading of something inspire me to dig a little deeper? And what if I doubled down on that little experiment in the same puzzle? I'm happy to report it worked! This fun twist marks my final puzzle for Lil AVC X. Thanks so much for solving with me over the years; it's been a pleasure. Many members of Team Lil 2024 will be at the Midwest Crossword Tournament this weekend in Chicago. Please come say hi if you'll be there! There's still time to sign up for the online event here!"

Headed to your inbox next week: midis from editors Jess and Amie!

Puzzle on,

Your friends at Lil AVC X
