We’re all a bit behind on solving lately, so we’re briefer today, and there’s a good possibility the next couple of these posts will have some older puzzles as we catch up.
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 solved that 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!
Cruciverb: Selected puzzles from the Minneapolis Journal in 1934. I’ve loved working through these nearly century-old puzzles, which are hard, but not as inscrutable as I expected. –Matt

Washington Post: Little League (2/9), Letters of Introduction (2/16), and Backup Plans (2/23), all by Evan Birnholz. Evan’s on a hot streak. Three very different puzzles from each other, with some stuff we bet you haven’t seen before. –Matt and Steve
