Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Get ready for some aha-moments! 2026 Lil AVCX roster member Kate Jensen has calculated just the right number of misdirects to make this puzzle a little crunchy and a little sweet. Her Lil AVCX debut, "I Literally Mean It!," is a 13x10 themed puzzle.

Kate splits her time between Minneapolis, MN and Madison, WI where she works as a teaching professor in Computer Science. Kate loves mystery novels, hiking, drawing, painting, math … and puzzles!

Kate says, "I'm excited to be working with the great team at Lil AVCX this year. Thank you to everyone who helped this puzzle come together! This puzzle was inspired by some of the bad jokes I've made while teaching math classes. Hope you enjoy it!"

Headed to your inbox tomorrow from Lil AVCX: a midi from guest constructor Gus Bloxham.

Enjoy! Thanks for your support!

Your friends at Lil AVCX
