Puzzle Notes

Hello, all! We've got a lovely offering for you this week from our good pals Shannon Rapp and Will Eisenberg, who recently won second place (but first in our hearts!) in the Pairs competition at the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.

Will is the editor of Midis for Minnesota, a charity crossword pack featuring over a dozen midis by Minnesotan constructors. Donations support immigrant families in Minnesota who have been impacted by ICE activity. Donate to your choice of several Minnesota mutual aid organizations to receive these Minnesota-inspired puzzles.

See you back here in a fortnight! Happy solving --

-- Francis (and the AVCX Cryptic crew)
