Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Tonight's puzzle is an 11x7 offering entitled "A Polar Bear Is Looking at You" from Lil alum Katja Brinck. We think it'll be a breezy solve that's easy to bear. Of late, you can also find Katja's puzzles on the People magazine app, where she makes minis and celebrity-focused midis. Congrats, Katja!

Katja: "This puzzle began as an experiment with grid design, when I accidentally created a grid that looked like the face of a polar bear. My attempts to expand it into a full-size grid left things far too wide open, so the idea ended up sitting in my backlog. When the opportunity arose to construct a guest puzzle for Lil AVCX, I realized it was the perfect chance to finally bring my polar bear grid into the world in its original form. I love midi puzzles for the chance to be creative within a smaller space. I hope you enjoy solving!"
