Dear friends:

We have a great guest puzzle for you today from Lil AVCX, a 9x9 themeless midi by Kelly Morenus titled "Winter Delights." As one test solver put it, this puzzle's vibes are "sparkly, like freshly fallen snow."

Kelly is a middle school social studies teacher who has been constructing for about four years. She is excited to make her Lil AVCX debut and would love to make more friends in the crossworld! Feel free to find her on bluesky or in the constructing groups on facebook. She'd also love to meet you at ACPT in April!

Kelly says: "I enjoyed making this puzzle and was inspired by the fun to be had in the colder weather. I hope it makes for a cozy and timely solve!"

Headed to your inbox next week from Lil AVCX: a super special puzzle from new editor Jess Rucks.

Puzzle on,

Your friends at Lil AVCX
