WHY BE CROSS?: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Easy puzzle on deck. Doesn't mean it doesn't have that BEQ flavor that y'all have come to enjoy. So savor it, unless you're one of them speed solvers then ... I don't know what to tell you. You do these things too fast.
Summer drive is chugging along. As always, the site Remains Free, and there's no obligation to tip. Have fun with the puzzles. However, if the puzzles have brightened up your life, and you're financially able, please chip in. A suggested donation of $15, please and thank you. PayPal or Venmo (@TheBEQ) preferred. But I take everything, including crypto, just email me
Like we always do during these drives, everyone who chips in will get two bonus BEQ puzzles. Two Sunday-sized, one themed, one themeless, so it's a super-sized BEQ week as a thank you. And one randomly selected donor will get a book of mine, so there's that. Thank you all ahead of time.
This summer drive is a quick one, it ends on July 4th.
