Vox Thursday On An Otherwise Uneventful Tuesday (Will Nediger Guest Puzzle!)

Image
Some of you may know Will Nediger for his amazing puzzles that he's made for the New York Times (boo!), the New York War Crimes (woo!), or for the New York Vox (voo!x). Well, he's made a puzzle along the lines of the lattermost example for my humble, lowly blog! It only makes sense considering the fact that I ghost-wrote the themes for two of his Vox puzzles (this is actually true and not april fools (i mean uhhhhh even though the rest of this ALSO isn't april fools and is PURELY A COINCIDENCE hehe i bet i got them with that one wait why are you still here oh shit i forgot to turn off the text to speech)) Check out Will's other puzzles here: this is my conspiracy theory .puz
