Puzzle Notes

Hi friends: 

Lil old meta contest for you this week, starring a 3.5/5 difficulty Francis Heaney puzzle called "Pile Up."

Here's the flavortext for the meta: Two entries in this puzzle can, after both being reversed, combine to form a two-word phrase (one word in some dictionaries) which would be another good title for this puzzle. What is that title? Email your answer to pileup@avxwords.com by the end of Sunday, March 27, for a chance to win a pre-release copy of Francis's new book, Mini Acrostics (also available as Large Print Acrostics). Commoners will have to wait until May 1, when it hits shelves, but you are different.

Winners will be announced next week. Happy solving!

Yours,

Ben and the AVCX crew [avxwords.com, @AVCXWord]
