Hard to believe we are eight puzzles into ACL, but somehow August has come around again. For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, I’m sorry to say this puzzle does not come with air conditioning – you’ll have to supply that yourself.
This month’s contest puzzle is “Shh! This Is a Library!” by Emma Oxford. The meta answer is a fictional bibliophile.
To submit to the contest, send an email with your answer in the subject line to damefoxwords@gmail.com. The contest deadline is 11:59pm Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, August 8. The solution, as well as the name of the randomly chosen winner, will be published on Sunday, August 10.
AcrossLite (puz) file can be downloaded here.
PDF for download is below.
Happy solving!
