Puzzle Notes
Dear friends,Not to say this week's puzzle has a theme, but we think dog lovers will be especially tickled by this 72-word themeless from the effervescent Carly Schuna. We think you'll find it moderately challenging!
Carly Schuna is a circus performer/coach and word lover based in Madison, WI. She began regularly solving crosswords more than 10 years ago and occasionally moonlights as a test solver for various puzzle and game books. In addition to the Inkubator, she has had puzzles accepted with Crosswords Club, L.A. Times, Universal, and the NYT. When not working with words, Carly is probably German wheeling, doing some kind of trapeze, juggling, or snuggling with her three dogs. You can follow her on Instagram at @headoverwheelscircus.
When you're done solving, check out Diary of a Crossword Fiend for a write-up and discussion, every Friday after an Inkubator puzzle is published.

Coming up next, on November 2: Priyanka Sethy shows us what's in style.
All best,
Laura, Tracy, Stella, and Brooke
