Puzzle Notes

Greetings Crossword Nation Friends,

Have you noticed that food costs keep rising? A basic grocery run at Trader Joe's used to set me back about $40. Suddenly, the same grocery items cost $60! Produce costs have also skyrocketed -- and produce is a cornerstone of a balanced diet. Health experts tell us to eat a rainbow fruits and veggies. Let's extended that to the puzzle, realm, shall we?

Welcome to Week 706 of Crossword Nation. Please enjoy "Colorful Pepper-Uppers" as your new diversion of the week. I wish you all good things as we move from fall to winter. Stay warm and happy solving!

Cruciverbally yours and with respect,

Liz

P.S. We hope that you're enjoying the Crossword Nation puzzles, and that you'll give them a good rating on Amy Reynaldo's site. Your positive ratings help us stay strong and independent!
