Puzzle #102: Cryptic Tick Boom


 Hi friends,

It's been a minute! While I haven't blogged in a while, you can find my puzzles in other places, including a 2000's-themed book (where I have two collaborations with Shannon) and in the Puzzmo book, where Shannon and I have a collab, and I edited a few of the others. I'm closing in on a full year of being part of the leadership team for Lil AVCX, and what a year it's been! Watching the success of all the editors and mentees involved has been a pure joy. I recently wrote a few words about what Lil AVCX means to me. If you'd like to support our work in 2025, AVCX is in the midst of a subscriber drive. Gift subscriptions make a great present, too!

Every cryptic is a labor of love, and I hope this one makes you smile. Steve Mossberg was instrumental in pushing this puzzle where it needed a push and reminding me to trust my instincts, too. 

You can find Shannon and me with a themeless this week at AVCX+. I've got puzzles on the Crossword Flow app regularly, including December 15th.
