Puzzle Notes
Dear Friends:
Ben Tausig's "Hounded at Work" is 3/5 difficulty this week.
Lots to plug! In addition to re-upping Oliver Roeder's upcoming Riddler book once more (you can and should pre-order it here), we're happy to let you know that this year's Bryant Park Crossword Tournament packet is now available. The tournament was
earlier this month, and they're selling the puzzles from it in a single packet or bundled with last year's packet (which was actually the puzzles from 2016 and 2017 together). All the puzzles are by Mike Shenk. More info here
Next week's puzzle is by Aimee Lucido (who has her own exciting project in the works -- more about that next week)
Be well,
Ben and the AVCX crew
