#cryptic-crosswords

Cryptic crosswords, despite being lesser-known in the U.S., offer a uniquely challenging and rewarding puzzle-solving experience that more Americans should embrace.

This week we’re celebrating our first full year of Defector crosswords with a slightly different type of puzzle—a cryptic by Hoang-Kim Vu. Kim has an impressive portfolio in global public health and is also a member of the crossword editing team at Defector and AVCX.
