You have to solve the grid you're dealt. This week's puzzle was constructed by Aaron Ullman and edited by Hoang-Kim Vu. Aaron is a forensic scientist by day, and dabbles with crosswords by later day. Sadly, he is also a hopeless fan of all Cleveland sports.
Defector crosswords, launched in partnership with our friends at AVCX, run every Monday. If you’re interested in submitting a puzzle to us, you can read our guidelines HERE.
