Puzzle Notes

Dear friends: 

Our 45th puzzle of the year comes the morning after the United States elects its 45th president. We think you'll find Francis Heaney's "Thank Goodness That's Over," at 4/5 difficulty, to be refreshing. It's a 21x21.

And in case you missed Francis's other election-themed puzzle (released on Election Day morning), here it is, in .puz and PDF. Note that it accounts for all alternate universes, including the one where this was actually published in the New York Times.

Best,

Ben and the AVCX crew [avxwords.com, @AVCXWord]
