Acrostic #13: Joie de Vivre

If you’re a long-time solver you’ll know that I put enumerations on my acrostics. I think it’s good if the entries are long, because you can get an idea of the entry that way. Today’s acrostic has some smaller entries, which makes me worried that enumerations would make it too easy. I’ve removed the enumerations…

Bonus Puzzle: Talk Is Cheap (dropquote!)

Over at the blog I’ve been playing around with acrostic-like puzzles. We ran an acrostic without a quote that we called a “portals” puzzle (https://tinyurl.com/xw-portals) and we’ve also run a dropquote, which is an acrostic without … well, without the acrostic, I guess. Here’s how it works: In a dropquote, you must reveal the quote…
