FRIDAY PUZZLE — The 46th American Crossword Puzzle Tournament will be held this weekend in Stamford, Conn. Even though the live tournament is full, solvers can participate in a virtual tournament.
If you would like to attend next year, the signup at the link above usually opens in January. And remember: You, too, can look this happy and relaxed while solving puzzles in front of a gigantic timer.
