Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Creative, special offering this week from Geoffrey Schorkopf and Amie Walker called "Leaves a Legacy." It's 21x21, and 2.5/5 difficulty. Please note that the digital version is fully solvable, but we suggest working this one on paper via the PDF if possible in order to experience the visual elements. No inksaver version is provided, as color is integral to the solve.

Geoffrey is a disc golfer and vinyl enthusiast. He's often spotted riding his e-bike around Atlanta with his son, scouting out the city's coolest playgrounds. A Lil AVCX 2024 "grad", he's a big fan of all things AVCX; this marks his fourth AVCX Classic puzzle. Amie did not submit a bio, but she is one of our favorite constructors for both themed and themeless work, and a Lil AVC X editor to boot.

Lastly, a quick reminder that our Trivia feature will be open for submissions from March 1st through July 1st. The editors would like you to know that you don't have to write up a whole game to pitch them -- they're happy to consider theme pitches that consist of a list of possible answers with a revealer, or a final question. Hit them up at trivia@avxwords.com with ideas once the submission window opens!

Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
