Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today we're wrapping up our run of Lil editor puzzles with a voicey 12x10 themeless from Brian Callahan titled "Malört is the New Holy Water." As one test solver put it, "on a scale of calm waters to tsunami, this one's a nice whitewater wave on a surfboard." We hope you enjoy the ride!

Brian says: "Since last May, I've seen a particular entry from this puzzle on all sorts of Chicago-themed merchandise. Now that I've put it in a puzzle, maybe I should finally buy a t-shirt?"
