Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today we're delighted to bring you a guest puzzle from the great Barbara Lin! It's titled "Lovebirds on the Beach." We think you'll find this 9x11 themeless midi refreshing, like a cool dip in the ocean on a sunny day.

Barb has been constructing crosswords since 2019, after many years of enjoyment of word puzzles. Besides puzzles, she enjoys traveling, spending time outdoors, and eating anything chocolate.

Barb says: "I was thrilled to be asked to submit a guest puzzle to Lil AVCX; I've been a fan since the start! One of the things I've noticed is how many of the puzzles highlight something important to the constructor. I set the bar for myself to seed this puzzle with something meaningful to me."

Headed to your inbox next week from Lil AVCX: a midi from roster member Wilfred Bowie.

Thanks for your continued support,

Your friends at Lil AVCX
