Hi puzzlers! Here’s the first of a series of “midi” crossword puzzles (larger than 5×5 minis, but not quite full-size puzzles) that we’re going to start publishing with a little more frequency!
Your support will ensure that we can continue producing powerful, honest, and accessible reporting that serves the University of Chicago and Hyde Park communities.

He started constructing crosswords in 2020, and has published work in the Los Angeles Times, the Universal Crossword, and the American Values Crossword Club. Off the grid (ha), he enjoys biking, making music, and reading.
