DCL Highlights, 6/22-7/12

Sorry for missing a few. We expect to be back on our weekly schedule after this. Hope you’ve been solving enjoyable puzzles anyway!

Remember that this is not an attempt to pick the “best” puzzles, and we won’t be commenting as critics. Our approach is best described as “puzzles we don’t think you should miss.” Kind of like staff recommendations at a local bookstore.

Did we miss your favorites? Add them in the comments!
