Puzzle Notes

Dear subscribers: 

We had a great response to Tyler's stellar and difficult puzzle last week - thank you. And congrats to those who got through it. This week, Caleb Madison's "Cant Put Into Words" is quite an achievement, too, albeit an easier one - 3/5 in difficulty. Caleb interned for me at the AVCX laboratory earlier in the summer, and he's bubbling with ideas.

Most of you have probably received the memo by now, but if not, my article on women in crosswords is up at The Hairpin. http://thehairpin.com/2013/08/the-crossword-puzzle 

Enjoy,
