Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

Today's AVCX+ is a gorgeous 72-word themeless from Brian Callahan and Shannon Rapp. It's titled "Sweet and Spicy" -- Brian and Shannon say this one's like a hot honey soppressata pizza, which we'd call 3.5 out of 5 chilis on the spicy scale.

Brian and Shannon are both editors/mentors for Lil AVC X. For more of their puzzles, check out the clue at 25-Across.

A few housekeeping items alongside today's puzzle: You can now solve every AVCX crossword right on our website, courtesy of the fine folks at Crosswordr! In each day's email*, you'll receive attachments with puzzle files as usual, as well as a link to solve that day's puzzle directly in your browser. *Note that only puzzles available in .PUZ format are currently solvable on the online AVCX Puzzle Player -- so as of right now, Trivia puzzles, variety puzzles, and some Cryptics will not be available to solve online. (We're working on that... in the meantime, rest assured that you'll always receive everything by email.)

Also note that you will need to have your AVCX login credentials handy to solve online. If you're subscribed to our email newsletter, you already have an account! Visit this page to set up or reset your password, if necessary.

Finally, another plug for our ongoing subscription drive. We're very thankful for the support we've received so far, from newer and veteran solvers alike. If you like what we do, please don't be shy to let a friend or ten know. Puzzle subscriptions also make for great gifts -- especially when it's crunch time and you need something thoughtful to treat a loved one.

Cheers,

the AVCX+ crew
