For the second puzzle this month, we have a themed midi titled “Perfect Bores” that may have you looking for the nearest exit. I’ve been honing in on certain approach to this style of puzzle: 11x-ish in size with 2-3 theme answers and an optional reveal. Who says little puzzles can’t pack full-size themes?

Given that more themed midi ideas have been popping up for me recently—many are themes that don’t quite scale up to a 15x size—I’ve decided to make this a regular feature! So each month, a full-sized puzzle will appear on the 1st, as usual, and a themed midi will show up on the 15th.
