Puzzle Notes

“If I were a bird, I would fly about the Earth seeking the successive autumns” ~George Eliot

Dear Friends,

It's good to connect with you again this week and Happy Autumn! Today we return back to basics: puns. What would crosswords be without the dastardly, delicious and dreadful puns that lurk in the shadows of the grid? If you're not a fan of puns, just give them a chance -- they'll groan on you. 

Welcome to Week 644 of Crossword Nation. We invite you to solve "Don't be Sad ... be BAD!" as your conundrum of the week. Thank you for solving and enjoy!

Until next time, I remain . . .

Cruciverbally yours and with respect,

Liz
