The Extra Edition

“For readers who somehow still want more.”

More puzzles are coming

Five games were not enough for some of you. Management has reluctantly agreed to print more.

Four extra daily puzzles are currently being set in type. The daily five stay exactly where they are: free, every morning, for everybody.

The first 100 readers to reserve a copy
get the Extra Edition free for life.

No payment today. No commitment.
Just an unnecessarily early place in line.

Management may regret this.
