Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today we're bringing you an 11x11 midi by guest constructor Benjamin Panico. This lightly-themed puzzle is titled, "Mapped Out." We think you'll enjoy the mild challenge of figuring out where you're headed.

Ben is a queer and trans constructor living in Oakland, CA, and working as a freelance web developer. He started constructing in 2023 and has learned a ton from the generosity of wonderful mentors and collaborators. In his free time, Ben sings in a chorus, tends to his many plants, and maintains a travel photography blog called Where's Ben Been.

Ben says: "My first attempt at a themeless puzzle went a little awry when I started with a fun seed entry and then couldn't resist pairing it for a cute mini theme… Oh well! I hope you enjoy solving as much as I enjoyed constructing this puzzle, and thanks so much to Lil AVCX for the guest spot!"
