Puzzle Notes

Hi friends: 

This week we've got a fine, fun offering from Aimee Lucido, and a slight break from the recent extra-tough workouts. It's 2.5/5 difficulty, and called "Urban Towers."

Congratulations to eveyone who entered the contest for last week's meta in Jeff Chen's guest puzzle; we had 265 correct submissions. The winners of a three-month subscription extension, drawn at random, are Richard Kalustian and Hollie Schmidt. Richard is now a two-time winner, no mean feat. Thanks to everyone, and look for more fun extras soon! Jeff appreciated all the kind comments.

If you're going on vacation this summer, don't forget that archived AVCX bundles can be purchased here.

Later,
