Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Rafael Musa has this week's puzzle, our bimonthly themeless (the 89th for Classic overall). And it's pretty easy for a themeless, at 3.5/5 difficulty. Good luck working it! Rafa is outstanding.

We also wanted to plug one of our very favorite tournaments of the year, Lollapuzzoola, which happens this coming Saturday, August 15. The in-person event is sold out, alas, but you can play the at-home version on Sunday for just $25. Click here to register for the latter option. The crew of constructors is outstanding and Lolla always does super original stuff.


Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
