Dear friends,
Dan Zarin's "Can You Dig It?" is 4/5 difficulty. A fun and seasonal offering! Dan notes that he is a "crossword constructor and freelance writer based in Portland, Maine. Over the years I have been a musician, hitchhiker, barista, advertising copywriter, and food critic, so making puzzles seemed like the next logical step." Thanks, Dan!
Meanwhile, as a thank-you to our subscribers, we have an exciting offer this holiday season. Until the end of the year, when you subscribe, renew your subscription, or buy a gift subscription, we'll send you a free mini meta pack, a set of puzzles that together reveal a hidden solution. After subscribing/renewing/gifting, just send a blank email to freeminis@avxwords.com with the subject line "mini meta," and the puzzle pack will be yours. (If you bought or renewed recently, feel free to claim the pack if you'd like -- honor system!)
Subscription options can be found here. Our tiered pricing allows you to choose the payment option that works best for your budget. At checkout, you'll also have the choice to send the subscription to someone else as a gift, including the date they receive it. AVCX does cutting-edge work while supporting constructors and editors. In a moment of corporate control over basically everything, we do it all ourselves, and your support is crucial.
When you snag the mini meta pack, you can email the meta answer to minimetacontest@avxwords.com by the end of Monday, December 8 to be automatically entered in a drawing to win a copy of Natan Last's wonderful new crossword history book, Across the Universe: The Past, Present, and Future of the Crossword Puzzle. Natan is a brilliant person who does a lot of incredible things (in puzzles and beyond), and his new book promises to be one of the smartest and most fascinating books about crosswords ever published. We're very excited for it, and thrilled to have it as a prize for the meta contest.
In gratitude,
All of us at AVCX
