Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today's puzzle is an 11x11 offering from Lil editor Matthew Gritzmacher entitled "A Trip to the Sal-on." We think you'll find it delightfully thorny.

Matt is the founder of Daily Crossword Links and an avid speedsolver who enjoys fact checking and is getting more into construction little by little.

Matt says, "I've found diagonal symmetry easier to work with, particularly in smaller grids, and I like how it leads the solver on a different path through the grid than she's maybe used to."

Headed to your inbox next week: more editor puzzles from Matthew Luter and Brian Callahan.

Thank you for being a friend,

Your pals at Lil AVC X
