Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

It's a Lil AVCX first! This unassuming-looking 11x11 midi, by Lil roster alumni Lydia Roth and Christina Bodensiek, titled "Stop Repeating Yourself!" is a meta puzzle. After you fill this grid, solve the puzzle-within-the-puzzle to find a one-word meta-answer. Lydia and Christina offer you this clue: "The answer to the meta is what we think you all are for solving our puzzle!"

And our intrepid constructors add: "Is there an echo in here? We really wanted to write a meta for Lil 2024 but it didn't quite pan out, so when we found out we had the opportunity to write one more puzzle, we knew it was time. If you enjoy our work and are itching for more metas, be sure to check out our new blog, Pair-o-Ducks—Season 1 starts this weekend!"

To celebrate Lil AVCX's first ever meta midi, we've decided to make it a contest! Send your answer to the meta to lilavcxmetacontest@gmail.com before midnight Pacific Time on March 22, 2025. Three winners will be randomly selected from all the correct entries. Each winner will receive a book of midi crosswords.

Solve this puzzle online! (AVCX login credentials required)

Headed to your inbox next week: a brand new midi from Lil roster alumnus Deanne Cliburn.

Happy solving, yall!

Your friends at Lil AVCX
