Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

Here's a 72-word themeless by Matthew Luter (who just placed in the top 10 among all competitors at the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament this past weekend!). The puzzle's titled "Is That Your Real Name?" and Matthew describes its difficulty as similar to parallel parking, in that your mileage may vary, but it shouldn't be too challenging.

Matthew Luter lives in Jackson, Mississippi. He's on the editing team for Lil AVCX. While he doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, if he had to choose solely between the two, he'd take 60-Across over 38-Across.

Cheers,

the AVCX+ crew
