Puzzle Notes

Dear friends:

We've got a 10x10 puzzle for you today from Katie Hoody, titled "Girl Power Forever," that's technically a themeless, but you'll notice some conceptual throughlines connecting some clues—not to mention some zippy long entries.

Katie adds: "This puzzle was inspired by vicariously experiencing the excitement of my sister and her six-year-old daughter attending Games 3 and 4 of the Professional Women's Hockey League championship series in St. Paul this May. My niece made a sign for the games that said 'Girl Power Forever.' Perhaps she had a premonition of just how much girl power would be needed to win these games! Minnesota won Game 3 in the third overtime (after playing nearly the equivalent of two full games of hockey!) and then won the championship in the second overtime of Game 4. My sister said her final OT was holding her daughter in her arms so she could watch the entire post-game celebration. Give that mama an MVP!"
