Dear friends:

We hope you are ready for a year of amazing puzzles! For our second Lil AVCX installment, we have a 10x13 themed brain-tickler by Michael Berg titled "Empty Words." It's chock-full of clever clues, fresh entries and a unique and approachable theme — that's no empty promise!

Michael (who has joined the Lil editing team this year) says: "I'm excited to be back with Lil AVCX this year! I am so lucky to be a part of this wonderful crossword community. Wishing everyone an amazing year of puzzle-solving ahead!"

Solve this puzzle online! (AVCX login credentials required)

Headed to your inbox tomorrow from Lil AVCX: a midi from editor Sally Hoelscher!

Happy puzzling!

Your friends at Lil AVCX
