Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Hanh Huynh's "Stress Relief," a super fun puzzle (can't say more), is 3.5/5 difficulty, and edited by the great Jess Shulman. Let us know what you think! Brief theme explanation in the answer file, if you need it.

We also want to offer a plug for a new puzzle outlet by the name of The Daily Baffle, which has just launched with a range of bite-size daily puzzles involving wordplay, spatial reasoning, and logical deduction. Their editor notes that "for crossword lovers we especially recommend Morphology, which resembles a clued word ladder and is published on weekdays. Many of the Morphology constructors have previously had their crosswords published by AVCX, the NYT, LAT, and others." Sign up for a free account on the site if you'd like to be notified when their upcoming free mobile app goes live.


Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
