Puzzle Notes

Greetings Crossword Nation Friends,

I've always thought of puzzles as a diversion -- a way of taking our minds off of our problems for a few minutes each day. But music mega-mogul Quincy Jones has opened my eyes to a new way of approaching life's problems. He wrote this on Instagram:

The moment you see your challenges as a puzzle and not a problem, you've found your way out. You may not be able to solve it in a day, nor even a year, but just know there's always a solution.

That is an elegant reframing of how we look at problems. Quincy said he had no problems; rather, he has a series of puzzles to solve. He said it so beautifully, and I will try to follow is advice. And now, on to our puzzle of the day . . . 

We welcome you to Week 693 of Crossword Nation and invite you to solve "The Rest is Herstory!" Happy puzzling and problem-solving!
