I wrote an Epstein-themed puzzle for Guardian. It wasn’t suitable. So, I sent it to Cyclops for him to amend for @privateeyenews.bsky.social

It features my grid and clue at 1/4/21 across. They didn’t print the acknowledgment.

At least I got my clue published.

I’ll have to use that.

It’s a fair comment

I send them as I write them. I have about thirteen in the pipeline, although I haven’t written one for over two months. I don’t want appear more than monthly.
