Neat announcement from the Boswords team today; rather than a tournament, they’ve dialed up a “league” of weekly online-tournament style puzzles to run on Monday evenings through the fall. Unlike typical tournament practices, all puzzles will be themeless and presented in three levels of cluing difficulty. Much more info and a sample puzzle are available at the Boswords site.
