Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today we're bringing you an 11x11 themeless puzzle by roster member Kim Alswager. It's titled "Character Counts," and we hope solving it brings a smile to your face.

Kim says: "I am definitely a theme girly at heart, but I am excited to share my first themeless with you all! I wanted one of my seeds to be a phrase that was important to me. I had one in mind, and then no joke, I hop on a zoom with Sally, and there it is displayed in the background! It was a sign (both literally and figuratively)! I hope you enjoy, and let's all spread some kindness today."

Headed to your inbox next week from Lil AVCX: a midi from roster member Madison Shultz.

Thanks for your support!
