I received pretty quick feedback on yesterday’s note: it was a misstep. I’d been trying to balance two goals with this newsletter: (1) introducing solvers to indie constructors and (2) sharing all the puzzles I know about. Going forward I’m going to tack toward the latter. There’s new sections of links at the bottom.
Yesterday’s Out Of Left Field puzzle was a guest construction from Jeffrey Harris that I misattributed. Sorry, Jeffrey!
Any other errors today, I’m blaming on my dog.
