Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

We're excited to bring you the first Lil puzzle of 2026! It's a 12x11 offering called "Sweet!" from leadership team member Olivia Mitra Framke. We think this tasty offering chock-full of Olivia's signature fun clues will start your new year off right.

Olivia says: "2026 will be my third year co-leading the midi division of AVCX, and I have to say, I have FULLY fallen in love with the midi size. It's the perfect size for a just-long-enough-but-not-too-long gridding session, and I also find that it makes for a quick, satisfying solve, especially when highlighting a midi-sized-theme. If you're not sure you like midis, I hope you'll give a few of our upcoming puzzles a solve! We have a great group of constructors on our 2026 roster, but first we'll be bringing you a bunch of midis by our editing team. Hope you enjoy!"

Headed to your inbox next week from Lil AVCX: a midi from editor Michael Berg.

Thanks for your support!

Your friends at Lil AVCX
