HIGHER DEGREE: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Woke up with Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love” stuck in my head this morning. I can’t decide if that’s a sign of the apocalypse, or if my brain was still riffing on today’s puzzle’s title. Possibly a bit of both. But the bigger picture is, a truly ghastly 80s divorcecore song is stuck in my head, and well, it’s just going to make for a strange day. And now, the song is stuck in your head. Admit it.
Reminder: today I’ll be doing a talk about puzzles and whatnot at Brookline Booksmith. The fun begins at 7:00, and since it’s loosely related to “Drunk Crosswords,” I hear there will be adult beverages served. Should be a blast.
Another reminder: mark your calendars for Boswords. August 6th. Boston can now once again sleep deeply knowing that a crossword tournament has returned. See you there.
And yet another reminder: Summer drive is underway. If you’ve been enjoying the puzzles lately, consider a $10 tip via PayPal or Venmo (@TheBEQ), or email me. The site will forever be free, so don’t feel like you have to pay. But if you can, I’ll thank you with two additional 21x puzzles. Much appreciated.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
This puzzle was a total blast to solve! Thanks for brightening my day (waiting for the repair man).
Very cool, and clever as always. I always get nervous AcrossLite won’t like my solution, but no hitches today. Thanks.
I chipped in for the Summer Fund Drive and I’m half-way through the two Bonus puzzles–they’re great. At 21x, they’re a little meatier / tofu-ier than the usual, all the more BEQ goodness packed into each puzzle.
Just kicked in $10. Feel like I’m stealing.
That puzzle was tight. I totally lapsed on giving last year so I’m going to go throw some cash your way via PayPal.
Qthulhu, thanks for another great year and for the bonus 21×21 themeless, a rare and excellent treat. Looking forward to #1000 and the tenth anniversary of this fabulous site.
