Costume Party
Today’s puzzle is a collaboration with the one and only juff, a fantastic cryptic setter and streamer (with many other talents, one of which is on display after you solve this puzzle). Check out their post for this collab here , and a great essay on symmetry in cryptics (along with a fun puzzle) here ! We’ve been wanting to collaborate for a bit, so when juff had the idea of doing a modern homage to a vintage Halloween-themed Hex puzzle , I was excited to jump on board! Many thanks to Saroota and Skaldskaparmal for their helpful test solves. Hope you enjoy, and, as ever, let us know what you think! [ fullscreen ]
