Greetings, fans of themeless crosswords! The Boswords crew has another virtual crossword tournament coming up, the Spring Themeless League. There’s a preseason puzzle on Monday, February 22, sort of a dry run for the online solving and the Twitch video stream and livechat. The competition runs the next eight weeks, on Monday evenings from March 1 to April 26. If you’re not free every Monday night, that’s fine—asynchronous solving is fine. I enjoyed the Fall Themeless League, competing in the toughest of three divisions, “Stormy”—and felt that all of the Stormy puzzles were harder than most Saturday NYTs. There are intermediate “Choppy” and easier “Smooth” divisions, too. More info and registration links here.
