Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Michael Schlossberg's "It's All Relatives" is 4/5 difficulty, and as usual for that byline it's ambitious -- 21x21, with a visual element. The puzzle is fully solvable in .puz, but if you go at it digitally you'll want to consult the PDF (specifically, the image in the bottom left) to make sense of the theme.

Meanwhile, some happy news: solvers who prefer a web-based experience can now solve the weekly puzzle right on the AVCX site! Just head here (log in with your usual info) and you should be good to go. We're using the Crossword Nexus platform -- big thanks to Alex Boisvert, who created it, and to our own Glenn, who did the work to implement it. One unfortunate thing is that historical solving data won't have survived the import, so if you've used Crossword Nexus in the past, your data won't carry over. Hope that's not too big a thing. If you have any issues or would like to see any specific features, just let us know!


Chag Pesach Sameach,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
