Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today for your puzzle-solving pleasure, we bring you an 11x11 crossword playfully titled, "Turn that Frown Upside Down." The puzzle pairs some delightful grid art with moderately challenging clues for a result that we think is a magical combination of trickery and fun, all the while celebrating roster member Will's whimsical point of view.

Will says: "Venturing into the realm of themeless puzzles was a bit scary to me, but Michael suggested trying out grid art as a starting point. That's what got this puzzle rolling. I learned a lot at every step of the process, but had the most fun cluing! Believe it or not, I hope this puzzle puts a smile on your face!"
