Puzzle Notes
Dear friends:We're pleased to bring you "Kintsugi," a 10x11 themed puzzle from Rene Lue with a bit of grid art, for a treat.
Rene is co-captain for the Amateur Hour puzzle hunt team (always recruiting!). When not suffering in a hell of eir own making creating overly-complicated puzzles, Rene can be found resurrecting eir alliance in Final Fantasy XIV, volunteering at the archery range, and scouring Los Angeles for authentic scallion pancakes.
Rene says: "A variation of this puzzle has been sitting in my drafts folder for almost two years now, so I'm extremely happy to be able to finally realise it with the help of the fabulous AVCX team!"
Note: Because of special features in the grid, this puzzle is available as an ipuz for solving online. We recommend using the Crossword Nexus solver if you wish to solve online, as we know the puzzle displays correctly in that solver. Of course, solving on paper is also a great option!
One more thing today: We've been teasing a BIG announcement from AVCX. Check out the website for the AVC X Games, happening on January 10, 2027.
Headed to your inbox next week from Lil AVCX: a midi from roster member Heather Stanger McIntire.
Thanks for your support!
Your friends at Lil AVCX
