Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today we are thrilled to bring you a debut from K.J. Sarr titled "Slow Burn." This moderately challenging 9x9 puzzle is bursting with magical, nerdy-chic vibes, and, as one test solver put it, is "giving BookTok." Huzzah!

K.J. Sarr is a freelance writer and toddler mom living in Wales. She says, "I'd like to think my Lil AVCX debut is an excellent introduction to my personality (including my fondness for exclaiming 8-Across and tendency to indulge in parenthetical commentary). I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Lil team to refine this puzzle and look forward to the rest of my roster experience!"

Headed to your inbox tomorrow: a debut from Lil AVCX roster member Alex Rossell Hayes!

Thanks for your support,

Your friends at Lil AVCX
