Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

August Miller has the AV Classic's 87th themeless puzzle, at 4.5/5 difficulty, and attached here. Sparkling grid, and a bit of a workout. As ever, you can also solve it online (credentials required) here.

As a reminder, we'll send out the solution (and announce the contest winners) next Tuesday for Francis Heaney's meta themeless puzzle. Oh, and it was great to see many of you at ACPT this past weekend!

Lastly, a plug: our friends at The Daily Baffle have just released their mobile app, available for free on both iOS and Android. It offers the same mix of word and logic games found on their site, but with native support right in your pocket. Do check it out!


Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
