Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

Here's a lovely 70-word themeless by AVCX+ team member Ada Nicolle, titled "Why So Serious?". Difficulty-wise, we'd say it's on the challenging side, like a "Star Cup" Mario Kart track.

Ada Nicolle (she/her) is a crossword constructor and comedian based in Toronto, Canada. She is the author of "A-to-Gen Z Crosswords: 72 Puzzles That Hit Different", and in 2025, she headed "A Trans Person Made Your Puzzle," an all-trans crossword project that raised over 25,000 USD for American trans charities. More puzzles of hers can be found on Crossword Club (minis) or her Patreon, Luckystreak Xwords+ (15x themelesses).

Our last AVCX+ puzzle of the year is coming up in two weeks, right around the holidays. In the meantime, if you're in a gifting mood, consider treating a friend or loved one to an AVCX subscription! We'd love to be the puzzle on your clipboard as you gather around a cozy fireplace and sip some hot cocoa (if that's what you're into).

Cheers,

the AVCX+ crew
