A plug for the upcoming Westwords crossword tournament. It’s on Sunday, June 22 in Berkeley, and there’s an online version being handled by John Lieb of Boswords fame. The whole shebang is run by Rebecca Goldstein, Kate Chin Park, and Stan Park. I love love love that the in-person event requires masking! So considerate for folks like me. I can’t take part this year, but maybe next time. If you’re in Northern California or you’re up for an online puzzle event, check out Westwords!
