Our year-end fundraiser continues; the four-puzzle bonus pack featuring grids from members of the DCL team is available through New Year’s Eve. If you have donated and not received the puzzles by this afternoon, it’s because I’m not certain of your email address. Please drop a line to crosswordlinks [at] gmail [dot] com or pay attention to your Venmo/PayPal for a message from me. Thank you for your support!
