Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Emet Ozar's "Glitterball" is 3/5 difficulty, right here in the middle of summer, which we hope you're making the most of. Enjoy this one!

Meanwhile, deepest apologies for a little geography/literature error in last week's puzzle. The clue for 35-Across should have referred to Prince Edward Island rather than Nova Scotia. All fault here lies with the editor, Ben, and we apologize to anyone who was thrown off, above all our valued Canadian solvers.

Lastly, in summer puzzle tourney news, registration is now open for the Boswords 2026 Summer Tournament, which will be held on Sunday, July 26. This event will be both In-Person and Online. Solvers can compete individually or in pairs. To register, to see the constructor roster, and for more details, go to www.boswords.org, where past tournament puzzles are also available for purchase.
Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
