Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

This week's Classic is a 21x21 offering from Bob Weisz, edited by the fantastic Karen Lurie. It's called "Can You Rephrase That?" and it's 4/5 difficulty.

Bob Weisz (he/they) is a video wizard, dog whisperer, and curry addict based in LA. Like a true sicko, they write cryptics for fun. They also edit the daily game Raddle, the Wordnik newsletter Logodaedaly, and the cryptic outlet Cryptic Crossweird with their friends Momes & Dob. As their roommate once put it: "You sure are into some word bullshit."

Bob sends huge thanks to John Kugelman for "helping me brainstorm themers (one of which is his!), giving me a crash course in grid design, and encouraging me to tackle most of this beast on my own. Appreciate ya!"

Happy week.
Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
