Welcome once again to Sunday Puzzle. It’s election season, with only 22½ days left until voting day, so please enjoy the puzzles in tonight’s diary but don’t spend too much time on them if you have more important things to be doing. You can play with these whenever time permits. I’ll be checking the comments at various times during the week between now and when next week’s puzzle diary goes up, so feel free to post your guesses or your requests for help any time.
Tonight’s diary includes a repost of a couple of puzzles which have gone unsolved for several weeks, to give you folks another chance to solve them, a brand-new JulieCrostic (which offers a hint to one of the unsolved puzzles, although the hint won’t do much good until you make a lot more progress on the unsolved puzzle than you’ve made so far), and something unusual — a real-life election-related puzzle I’m curious to hear your opinions on.
Come on down below the magic line and we can get started...
