Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

Today's puzzle is a 13x10 puzzle from guest constructor Pao Roy entitled "Leading Questions." We think you'll find it more challenging than the average Lil AVCX puzzle, but don't worry, you got this. Any questions?

Pao Roy (they/them) is a therapist and social worker living in New Orleans. They are passionate about collective liberation, gender expansiveness, decolonial healing, karaoke, soccer, pop music, and the intersection of highbrow and lowbrow.

Pao says: "As I start writing puzzles again after a long break, I challenged myself to submit as many derangedly tricky clues as possible, hoping a few would be kept. Thanks to the Lil AVCX team for their thoughtful editing and for indulging my love of wordplay by keeping all my tricky clues intact."
