I’m finding Steve’s variety cryptics to be HEX-level fun. Maybe you will too. They’re usually a bit harder — for me, at least — than a typical HEX puzzle in WSJ.

Enjoy!

I just signed up, Chris - and had a devilishly good time solving my first one. Took me a while to get a toehold, but I made it. Looking forward to many more, and I thank you for the referral!
