Beneath The Surface

  PDF  -  ipuz (online)  -  solution I'm excited to be making my debut this month in The Gnomon , an indie venue for variety cryptics run by Andy Yingst (formerly a contributor to the Browser), with a 6x6 Printer's Devilry. Hope you will check it out! It was nice to flex my PD muscles again after having not constructed one for a while, and it inspired me to create a 7x7 PD for this month's blog puzzle. To solve online, download the ipuz file above for use in your solving app. In other news, I had a regular cryptic last month in the AVCX Cryptic series, edited by Francis Heaney--do try that one out if you haven't already!
