Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

Enrique Henestroza Anguiano's 'Litter Collection' is 3/5 difficulty. this is Enrique's second guest spot with us; welcome back!

Two plugs for friends this week. First, our sibling puzzle venue Inkubator does an annual subscription drive, and wants to remind everyone that 2021 subscriptions are now available. Click here to get yours, if you haven't yet. They put out some of the very best work anywhere in 2020 and no doubt will do the same this year. Plus Inkubator is constructed, edited, and run at every level by women.

Second, registration is now open for the Boswords 2021 Winter Wondersolve, an online crossword tournament, which will be held on Sunday, January 31 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Eastern. Solvers can compete individually or in pairs and will complete four puzzles (three themed and one themeless) edited by Brad Wilber. To register, to see the constructors, and for more details, go to www.boswords.org. Boswords has been a great new addition to the puzzle scene and we enthusiastically stan this.

Be well,

Ben and the AVCX crew
