Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

Will Nediger's 'Twist Ending' is 4/5 difficulty. The puzzle was collaboratively edited by Francis Heaney, Wyna Liu, and Ben Tausig.

Will Nediger is a crossword constructor whose indie puzzles can be found at bewilderinglypuzzles.com. He also writes puzzles for Vox, and cryptics for The Browser. There are few things he enjoys more than mentorship and collaboration, so if you're a new or aspiring constructor who wants to learn the ropes, please get in touch at wnediger@umich.edu. It's an honor to have Will's work in the AVCX.

Quick plug meanwhile (nobody pays for these btw we just like to plug things we like, and that we think you might be interested in) for the aforementioned Browser, a subscription newsletter that curates, links, and summarizes five fascinating articles every day, and which now publishes a cryptic crossword on Saturdays. Dan Feyer is the editor, with puzzles constructed by Nate Cardin, Sara Goodchild, Will Nediger, Paolo Pasco, Andrew J. Ries, and Stella Zawistowski.
