Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

We've got a yummy treat for you today: a 9x9 Deanne Cliburn midi titled "Puppy Love" with playful, loyal, cuddly vibes.

Deanne says: "I'm so honored to be back at Lil AVCX for a guest puzzle in 2025 after an amazing 2024 on the roster. This puzzle is dedicated to the goodest, sweetest boy that ever was or will be, Ralphie ❤ Thanks for solving!"

Solve this puzzle online! (AVCX login credentials required)

Congratulations to the winners of last week's meta contest: Richard Kalustian, Jill Palmer, and Ned Robert. Thank you to all who participated in our first meta midi contest! The solution to the meta is attached to this email.

Headed to your inbox next week: a themed midi from roster alum Kaye Brown.br>
Keep calm and puzzle on,
Your friends at Lil AVCX
