Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

Byron Walden's "Butt Doubles," attached, is 3.5/5 difficulty.

We received 335 correct answers to last week's instant-classic Francis Heaney maze meta, "The Maze Ruiner." (For those stumped, the solution is attached, and it's also explained in full on Crosswordfiend.com). Props to everyone who finished, or tried! Two winners were drawn at random from among the correct entries: Geoffrey Schorkopf and Billow Robinson each receive a three-month subscription extension for their efforts. Thanks also for all the kind responses about the puzzle!

A new Kameron Austin Collins themeless arrives next week.

Be well,

Ben and the AVCX crew
