"Tears come from the heart and not from the brain" ~Leonardo da Vinci
Greetings Subscribers,
After a long, cold winter, the warm breezes of spring are most welcome -- so much so that they move me to tears. Yes, my allergies have kicked in, and one might find me tearing up in a park -- either moved by the beautiful cherry blossoms or succumbing to pollen. Perhaps that's why today's puzzle is inspired by things that move us to tears. I'll say no more, lest I end up crying on your collective shoulders.
This past week marked a puzzleversary for me, a small milestone: on Thursday, The New Yorker published my 100th puzzle in the magazine. Many of you are New Yorker subscribers, and I THANK YOU for making the crossword feature a success. Five years ago we started as a once-per-week diversion; this expanded to five puzzles per week, with crosswords ranging from challenging to beginner-friendly. We appreciate your interest in the crosswords we publish here at Crossword Nation, and across the markets!
Now, back to the cruciverbal business at hand . . . welcome to Week 621 of Crossword Nation. We cordially invite you to solve "Hidden Tear-Jerkers" as your featured crossword. Happy Solving!
Be well and thank you for supporting our little puzzle shop. Until next time, I remain . . .
Cruciverbally yours,
Liz
