Greetings, Friday solvers! I’ll bet many (most?) of you are fans of meta contest puzzles like Matt Gaffney’s Weekly Crossword Contest. The MGWCC puzzles are free to non-subscribers for the month of March, for the puzzles released on the Fridays from the 6th through the 27th. Visit Matt’s Patreon page to sign up for the puzzles, and if you are so inclined, stay on afterwards as a Patreon patron of Matt’s cruciverbal arts. (You can cancel by March 31 and you won’t be charged … but also won’t have access to subsequent MGWCCs.)
