Or, more accurately, I&#8217;m still recovering from the flight delays that led to me not getting home until 3:00 am on Monday. The tournament itself was a lot of fun, and marks a great end to the 2019 crossword circuit. I finished all the puzzles cleanly, which I believe makes this the first year that I haven&#8217;t had a mistake in any tournament. I also finished 12th overall, after finishing 8th at both Boswords and Indie 500, and 24th (6th in the B division) at the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you weren&#8217;t at Lollapuzzoola you can still get the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"puzzles (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/bemoresmarter.com\/lollapuzzoola\" target=\"_blank\">puzzles<\/a> and compete in the at-home division &#8212; or just solve them for fun. Also, you can do the puzzle below, which we handed out for free at the tournament. Laura Braunstein, who co-edits <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Inkubator (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/inkubatorcrosswords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Inkubator<\/a>, came up with the theme, and then she and I roughly split filling the grid and writing the clues.
