AVCX Logo

As we head into Christmas and the start of Hanukkah, a quick reminder to consider gifting a subscription to AVCX to all the word nerds and smarty pants folks in your life!  What a neat gift to get fun, fresh, and engaging crosswords (themed, themeless, midi, and cryptic!) and trivia in your inbox on a weekly basis.  Choose amongst tiered prices to pay what you can afford, and enjoy some sample puzzles in the new web-based solving interface!

Note of transparency: I (Nate) am an editor at AVCX Cryptics and have also joyfully published crosswords with other branches of AVCX.  Even if those things weren’t true, I’d attest to my AVCX subscription and its high quality puzzles being worth every penny!

Now, onto our Sunday puzzles:
