August 7, 2026 - "Character Building Experience" (themeless) - Jack Hatchett, edited by Kim Vu
Puzzle Notes
Dear Friends:
Here's a fun and bouncy 70-word themeless from Jack Hatchett, his first for us! It's titled "Character Building Experience" and Jack describes its difficulty as "playful but with some gentle bite, like a puppy that's still learning to socialize".
Jack (he/him) is a themeless merchant living in Beaverton, Oregon with his wife and extra-large hound dog. In his free time, he likes to engage in a fair amount of 43-Across and overthink his Letterboxd Four Favorites.
Enjoy,
the AVCX+ crew
