Puzzle Notes
Hey there, all! Sorry the cryptic is dropping a little later than usual this week, but this weekend's MIT Mystery Hunt threw a bit of a wrench in my schedule. But I think it's worth the wait! Today we've got a classic-style cryptic from Jamie Ding, his second puzzle for us. You wish to know more about Jamie, you say? We are prepared for this eventuality:
Jamie Ding (he/him) is trying to help build a world that constructs more housing and more cryptic crosswords. He wishes y'all all of the love and joy (and spite) needed to get through the next four years (and beyond). Hopefully, this puzzle helps a little (maybe not with the spite).
Jamie adds, "Also, I would like to give props to Francis for their brilliant editing (again!), as well as all of the testers, and to
Ingrid,
spread the word(list),
Merriam-Webster,
Online Etymology Dictionary, and
Regex Dictionary by Lou Hevly."
If you like your puzzles like I don't like my coffee -- inside a computer -- you can solve online
here. And we'll see you in two weeks! Cheers --
-- Francis (and the AVCX Cryptic crew)
