Puzzle Notes

Dear subscribers: 

Tyler Hinman's "Shift Happens," this week's puzzle, is 3/5 in difficulty.  

Back at the AVCX laboratory, we are hard at work on a special puzzle extravaganza for the American Crossoword Puzzle Tournament, coming up March 7-9 in Brooklyn, New York. This set of puzzles will be free to AVCX subscribers - even those who aren't at the tournament, and they'll be fully solvable from home. But for those in attendance in Brooklyn, you'll also have a chance to win prizes. If you plan to be there, please stop by the AVCX table and say hi.

We've also had a few requests from solvers who want to pay by check or other non-credit card, non-Paypal methods. Simply send us a note at support@avxwords.com, and we'll tell you how to do so.
