It’s 2020 out there. Let’s do this. And why not start things off with yet another indie puzzle site. Stella Zawistowski has launched a new venture, Tough As Nails, which promises crosswords and trivia. There’s one themeless up already, which is nice. And if you’re following her Twitter feed, you’ll know she has been honing her cryptic writing chops. So maybe we’ll see cryptics on there. Basically, I don’t know what the future holds for the site, but what I’m saying is, I know Stella. She’s all right. You should get to know her too.

Share the puzzle. New one Monday.
