SMALL-SCALE: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
There's a subtle feature of this here puzzle that will likely go past 99.9% of the solvers. Call it an Easter egg, if you will. For those that do in fact see it, I hope you appreciate it. As for everybody, I think this is one of my better one's. Enjoy.
Quick reminder that the December drive is still going. Big picture is this site remains free and you should be doing these puzzles. If you've been enjoying the puzzles for the back half of the year and can afford a little bit for the tip jar, it does help keep this thing chugging along. This isn't an obligation, only if you've got some money burning a hole in your pocket. All the usual ways are accepted: Venmo (@TheBEQ), PayPal, or get in touch. All who can give will get two bonus Sunday-sized thank you puzzles. And one randomly selected winner will get a copy of one of my books. Long form appeal here. Thanks to all who can support.
