Gentle reminder, if you haven’t already, and can afford it, please consider chipping in to the BEQ pass the hat summer drive. This isn’t a request to subscribe to the site. That’s not how any of this works. Every puzzle I post is free forever. Forever and ever, amen. No money down always. Enjoy them until an asteroid hits Earth. But if they’ve been helping you get through the days/weeks/years, please consider a tip, PayPal or Venmo (@TheBEQ) preferred. Two bonus puzzles go out to all who can chip in. Long form appeal here.
