Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

We've got a beautiful 72-word themeless with mirror symmetry today by Kareem Ayas. It's titled "Pet Project" and Kareem describes its difficulty like this: "This puzzle is a tad trickier than obedience training an eager-to-please Golden Retriever, but way less complicated than training a mischievous/manipulative Siberian Husky -- but hopefully you'll find it as fun and fuzzy as both." Seconding that!

Kareem Ayas is an English teacher living in Harlem with his pet Siberian Husky, Kane. Self-identified as 'theme-guy,' Kareem struggles more with making themeless puzzles as they require a more delicate and calculating touch. This puzzle took a long time to get off the ground, so he is grateful to the AVCX+ editing team for their patience!

Cheers (and happy Halloween!),

the AVCX+ crew
